Linux could soon be coming to your desktop after Microsoft revealed plans to ship a full Linux kernel directly in Windows 10. So says Techradar.com. Windows Insider users will be able to get preview builds by the end of June.

Microsoft says that the first release will be based on the latest stable Linux release (version 4.19), and updates will come alongside each stable release going forward ... we will include an in-house custom-built Linux kernel to underpin the newest version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

WSL:
Windows Subsystem for Linux has evolved dramatically since it was first introduced as a Bash shell back in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in 2016. Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, offered native support for Linux by translating Linux system calls into Windows APIs that could be executed by Windows itself, and the feature allowed developers that required Linux to install a distro of their choice and access its command line side by side with Windows.
