| post | Boxes becomes part of Windows 10 | 2016-08-02 13:24:00 +0100 |
Boxes is now part of Windows 10! This sounds amazing, and it is - albeit, to be honest, in an indirect way. Since this year's "anniversary update", Windows 10 features an optional Ubuntu Subsystem, which supports boxes natively. This is mostly thanks to @carnil, who maintains the Debian packages; and Debian being the foundation of Ubuntu. So, like I said, it is an indirect way, but still, we can't help being a little proud of the fact!
The Ubuntu Subsystem is optional and thus needs to be activated manually. Microsoft provides a reasonably simple guide on how to do that. After starting a bash in the Ubuntu Subsystem, you can activate boxes by typing:
tsjensen@FRACTAL:~$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for tsjensen:
root@FRACTAL:~# apt-get install boxes
