cowsay "Hello World!" :)

How cool is that?!? It clearly brings back memories. Not that I haven't been in touch with Linux for the past 5 years, but I do remember clearly all the VM's and emulators, ala Cygwin, that I used to run in Windows.

It's truly awesome to run bash and everything that it implies, natively in Windows 10 :D Personally, things like SSH are mandatory to have, so being able to run out-of-the-box that, it's like Xmas in Summer. Well, not really but you get the picture ;)

Check it out! It's easy to enable and enjoy, and although naturally there's still a lot to walk, it's clearly an awesome start.

There's a ton of nice technical articles, how to and videos out there, so I won't reinvent the wheel. Go, search and have fun!

Here's a few of my recommendations to you:

See you around!
