    <font face="Calibri">As mentioned by another reply, WSL2 is best to
      use. Note that you have to have Windows 10 ver. 2004 for a WSL2
      installation.<br>
      Here are a couple links I found helpful. Microsoft's documentation
      is very good.<br>

      <br>
    </font>I also read along the way that if you are using another
    Hypervisor (such as Virtualbox) on the same machine that there may
    be some "hiccups". WSL uses Windows built-in Virtual Machine
    architecture since WSL is essentially a VM running a Linux distro
    (and you can run multiple distros under WSL, such as Suse, Ubuntu,
    Redhat, etc).<br>
    <br>
    Hope this helps.<br>
