It's now easier than ever
How to Run Linux/Bash on Windows 11 | Windows 11 Bash & Linux Subsystem Setup
Bash (Bourne Again Shell) is the command line and graphical user interface that ships with all Linux distributions. Using Bash on Windows 10 wasn't a straightforward process. However, Windows 11 includes an upgraded Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2.0) that makes installing and using Bash easier than ever.
The new version of WSL runs a real Linux kernel in a virtual machine. This means that any Linux distribution you run under WSL includes Bash.
To install and run Linux operating systems that include Bash on your Windows 11 system, you will first need to install WSL. On Windows 11, this is a simple process using Windows Terminal. Do not launch CMD (Command Prompt) – Windows Terminal is a different application.
