You might be aware of Microsoft and Canonical's partnership to integrate "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10," which is typically a non-graphical Ubuntu running over Windows Subsystem for Linux. Windows 10 doesn’t officially support graphical Linux desktop applications.
But, now we have noticed a very interesting ticket titled "Run Any Desktop Environment in WSL" raised at Github repository, in which a user who goes by name Guerra24 has managed to run the graphical version of Ubuntu Linux, i.e. Ubuntu Unity on Windows 10.
It’s not "Microsoft Linux."
BASH or Bourne Again Shell is capable of handling advanced command line functionalities. Microsoft has provided support for Bash on Windows 10 as an expansion of its command-line tool family, so don't get confused.
The Bash on Windows 10 feature is designed only for developers who want to run Linux terminal utilities without any OS dependencies.
However, this feature downloads and installs a complete Ubuntu user space image, which includes binaries and applications that would run on Ubuntu.
So, Guerra24 managed to find a way that enables Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment, i.e. the graphical version of Ubuntu, on Windows 10 desktop.
However, before doing that you need to turn on "Bash on Windows 10" if you haven't yet.
Bash on Ubuntu on Windows is currently available on latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14316; however, the company will bring it to Windows 10 as part of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update coming in August.
Here’s how to turn on Ubuntu Bash Shell on Windows 10 Preview Build.
