Note: There is a new Linux compatibility system in Windows 10, called Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). If you've heard of it, you may be wondering why we don't use that in this course. It's an experimental mini-Linux-OS that runs inside Windows, like a virtual machine. You can access your Windows files from inside it, but it's a little bit dangerous to share files between the Linux and Windows sides. In the future, WSL will probably become less experimental, but for now we'll be using Git Bash instead for this course.
