Multiple Linux distributions could be installed and were available for install in the Windows Store. [11] In 2017 Richard Stallman expressed fears that integrating GNU functionality into Windows will only hinder the development of free software, calling efforts like WSL "a step backward in the campaign for freedom."

EndeavourOS began as a continuation of the Antergos Linux distribution, a distribution itself based on Arch Linux, a general-purpose Linux distribution.In May 2019, Antergos' developers abruptly announced that development on the project would cease; [6] a moderator of Antergos' forums discussed the idea of maintaining the community on a new forum.
A light-weight Linux distribution a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine , and allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware ) to be used productively.
Snap is a software packaging and deployment system developed by Canonical for operating systems that use the Linux kernel and the systemd init system. The packages, called snaps, and the tool for using them, snapd, work across a range of Linux distributions [3] and allow upstream software developers to distribute their applications directly to users.
