Ubuntu is now available on the Windows Store

Last year when Microsoft brought native support for Ubuntu in Windows 10, it was like dream come true for the Linux geeks out there. Going a step further, Microsoft took another unprecedented move by bringing Ubuntu (Linux Distribution) to Windows platform.

As promised, Ubuntu is now available on the Windows Store and one can download it from there. With this big move Microsoft is supposed to hit the bull’s eye by captivating more users to Windows platform.

Now installing an entire OS just became as easy as downloading an application from the Store. Now users will not have to install any virtual machine, dual boot or do anything other than downloading the software and ticking a checkbox.

Users will be able to download Ubuntu from the Windows Store and run Ubuntu sand-boxed in Windows 10.

How to get Ubuntu?

Presently this feature is available to the users participating in the Windows Insider Program and its easy enough to join if you haven’t already. You will also have to activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux beforehand. I have already mentioned how to activate the Windows Subsystem for Linux in my previous post. Here is the link for the same (Windows 10 Tricks & Hidden Features !) .

The user experience will not be same as the conventional copy of Ubuntu, as it is mainly focused on running command line utilities and SSH.

The big step is aimed at IT managers and developers who are likely to use Microsoft’s services and offerings if they can access familiar Linux environment on Windows machine.
