Microsoft
Will Integrate Ubuntu Linux In Windows 10
Recently the BQ
company has put on sale, the first tablet with UbuntuTouch
OS in the world, and previously also opted for smartphones. But in the ‘Desktop
World’, considering desktops and laptops, Ubuntu takes many more years of
filming and has been raised for years as one of the GNU / most interesting
Linux as an alternative to desktop users of Windows. Now, Microsoft is
very close to the integration of Ubuntu within its own computer operating
system, Microsoft Windows 10.
Microsoft’s Kevin
Gallo on
stage at of Build Developer Conference 2016 said that “The Bash shell is coming
to Windows. Yes, the real Bash is coming to Windows, This is not a VM. This is
not cross-compiled tools. This is native,” he also added that “We’ve partnered
with Canonical to offer this great experience, which you’ll be able to download
right from the Windows Store.”
According to the agreement with
Canonical, it will allow Windows 10 users soon to run Ubuntu and Windows
10 simultaneously
on their computers, not as a virtualized operating system. However, as a part
of the native libraries of Windows 10, which is not expected to be available
for the users who has the Unity interface, since a change would be more focused
on developers.
The interesting thing is the
integration is the ability to use tools such as BASH Shell and Terminal desktop
operating system Ubuntu,
beyond user functions by passing own system interface. Thus, while keeping
intact the own interface in Microsoft Windows 10, without possibility of
loading the elements of Ubuntu, would mean the complete integration of Linux
within Windows 10 and in addition to the hand of one of the most recognized
distributions.
According to this movement, on the
other hand, Microsoft would
have a strong support for the development of their tools of cloud computing,
and will have support of a truly broad community to work in software solutions
on its operating system. And what is not clear at this point, whether Ubuntu
would remain available also independently, as before it was, or this
integration would end installable distributions of Ubuntu.
