Now you can run Linux GUI apps in Windows 10 #NoVM

Now you can run Linux GUI apps in Windows 10 #NoVM | Code it | Scoop.it

Microsoft has announced that it's now possible to run graphical Linux apps in Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This feature was first released to Windows Insiders.

This is a major expansion of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which already lets you run command line-based Linux apps, and it means you can now use GUI apps without having to set up a traditional virtual machine with a Linux distribution.
