openSUSE Leap 15.1 is the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distribution
for professional developers, system administrators, entrepreneurs and
Independent Software Vendors.
Target Audience
---------------------------------------------------------------------
openSUSE Leap 15.1 is a great choice for:
- Corporate users in environments where Windows is mandated.

such as rsync, tar, vim, grep, sed, awk, and so much more.
- Developers wanting to closely mirror Linux server environments without
the overhead of a virtual machine.
- Users who would like to learn Linux without the additional complexity
of setting up a dual-boot system or virtual machine.
