Debian GNU/Linux Operating System Is Now Available from the Windows 10 Store

As with Kali Linux, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE, and other supported GNU/Linux distros, you can now download and install Debian GNU/Linux on your Windows 10 machine directly from the Windows Store, but only if you enable the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) feature by running the “Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux” command in PowerShell as System Administrator.
