I recently had the pleasure of restoring my Windows laptop after breaking something in a Linux dualboot (another story for another day). While going through all the process of setting things back up, I remembered that I had heard somewhere that Windows 10 now has the capability for developers to install a full Ubuntu environment within Windows (No Virtual Machine Required). This enables users to open a Bash shell and run Linux tools all without loading a VM or rebooting.
