Discover how Linux loves Windows as we get a full native Linux desktop up and running inside of Windows 11 using the latest WSL 2.0. Can we tempt more users to the Linux side of the force by showing them how easy Linux is to set up and run, even on Windows!

PLUS: Borg backups, Sharik network transfers, emulate the Tandy TRS-80, build a distro, GIMP photo filters, build the LXF server, code Glaxian, we test static site generators, get atomic time with GPS and loads more!
