Linux basics · part 4 of 8 · WSL, virtual machines, live USB and cloud servers

Do you need a new computer to use Linux?

An ordinary laptop opens a terminal and the penguin waves, then each way to get Linux gets its own little scene: WSL rising beside the Windows files, a small guest laptop that breaks while its host shrugs, a live USB stick, and a laptop talking to a data-center rack. Turn Your computer (Windows, Mac or any computer) to see which way to pick and why.

What you turn: Your computer
