Has anyone ever heard of WSL? Windows Subsystem for Linux - which translates to Windows Subsystem for Linux. Yes, you heard right - Linux on Windows! If you wanted to touch some distribution, but do not want to suffer with a dualbut or with virtual machines, then this is a good choice, but only console versions are available. Let's proceed to the installation:

We get all the distributions available for installation, there is even Arch or Kali Linux!
wsl --list --online

After we have decided, we set it with the command, specifying the value from the left column NAME as the name.:
wsl --install [Name of the selected repository without parentheses))]

For example, I want to install my favorite Debian, the installation command looks like
this: wsl --install Debian
According to the table of available distributions, I indicate his name.

The installation process usually does not take much time, 1-3 GB are downloaded, depending on the distribution.

After the installation is complete, run WSL with the command:
If you have one distribution, you can do it without specifying the name:
wsl

Or with the indication:
wsl -d Debian

You can also find the full list of commands. by writing
the wsl --help command
