Download and install Linux in this tutorial that covers how to choose a distribution, how to use the install command with Windows Subsystem for Linux, create a bootable USB for Bare-metal, or set up a Virtual Machine.
Yeah, title is kinda clickbaity. It doesn’t mention that Microsoft recommends Linux at any point. But a post saying that Microsoft has an installation guide for Linux would get less traffic I guess.
In fact, it recommends installing Linux on top of Windows via WSL or a virtual machine. It explicitly recommends not installing Linux on bare metal because of hardware compatibility.
I don’t necessarily agree with this characterisation. This is how to install linux rather than “we recommend linux over windows”?

Also because that makes it harder for them to spy :/
Especially because this exact article with a non clickbait title has gone around two-three weeks ago
