WSL](./CONTRIBUTING.md)\n\n## About\n\nWindows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a powerful way for you to run your Linux command-line tools, utilities and applications, all unmodified and directly on Windows without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual boot setup.\n\nYou can install WSL right away by running this command inside of your Windows command line:\n\n```powershell\nwsl --install\n```\n\nYou can learn more about [best practices for setup](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/setup/environment), [overviews of WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/about) and more at our [WSL documentation page](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/).\n\n## Related repositories\n\nWSL also has related open source repositories:\n\n- [microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel) - The Linux kernel shipped with WSL\n- [microsoft/WSLg](https://github.com/microsoft/wslg) - Support for Linux GUI apps in WSL\n- [microsoftdocs/wsl](https://github.com/microsoftdocs/wsl) - WSL documentation at aka.ms/wsldocs\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis project welcomes contributions of all types, including coding features / bug fixes, documentation fixes, design proposals and more. \n\nWe ask that before you start working on a contribution, please read our [Contributor's Guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\nFor guidance on developing for WSL, please read the [developer docs](./doc/docs/dev-loop.md) for instructions on how to build WSL from source and details on its architecture.\n\n## Code of Conduct\n\nThis project has
