In this guide, we will show you the steps to install Linux [and its distros] and run Linux commands on your Windows 11 PC. Back in the early days, people usually associated Linux with programming and geek-related tweaks. However, that is no longer the task and you might need to interact with these commands on a more frequent basis nowadays. In this regard, one way to execute these commands is by installing a Virtual Machine, however, that is quite a time taking with a lot of technicalities involved.<\/p>\n

Keeping all these points in mind, Microsoft introduced the Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10 which allowed you to easily set up and run Linux just by executing a few lines of commands. And with Windows 11, the Redmonds giants have introduced the second iteration of this software [WSL 2] which comes with tons of additional benefits. While it installs Ubuntu by default, but you have the option to install and run its other distributions such as Debian Kali Linux, openSUSE 42, and SLES 12.<\/p>\n

Moreover, you could carry out the entire setup either via CMD or using Microsoft Store. The command prompt method is the shorter of the two whereas the Store method will give you the GUI to complete the process. We would recommend you go through both these methods and then try out the one that is in sync with your requirement. So on that note, let’s get started with the steps to install Linux [and its distros] on your Windows 11 PC and hence run Linux commands.<\/p>\n
