| - | FIXME | + | Once you have verified that your Windows is recent enough, you should also: |
| + | |||
| + | * Install the [[other:win10apps#windows_terminal|Windows terminal]], because it will be one of the ways to open ''Ubuntu'' terminals, once ''Ubuntu'' is installed | ||
| + | * Have at least some basic knowledge of Linux... | ||
| + | * Get some [[other:newppl:starting#useful_documentation_for_beginners|basic Linux documentation]] if required | ||
| + | ==== Computer CPU and memory ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Contrary to other virtual machines, WSL is well integrated with the Windows operating system and the hardware drivers and has a **low default CPU and memory footprint**! | ||
| + | |||
| + | * You should be able to //play// with WSL even with 8 Gb of RAM, but 16 Gb is recommended | ||
| + | * Of course, depending on what you need to do on your computer, a better processor will always help | ||
| + | * WSL+Ubuntu will use more CPU and RAM if you use it for running CPU and/or memory intensive processes! As would be the case with any Windows application... :-) | ||
