You install WSL from the Microsoft Store. Let’s get our hands dirty and build a simple Python3 application so you can experience the magic for yourself. If it sounds magical, that’s because it is! But, don’t take our word for it. You’re able to use VS Code in WSL just as you would from Windows. Commands and workspace extensions are run directly in Linux, so you don’t have to worry about pathing issues, binary compatibility, or other cross-OS challenges. All of your VS Code settings are maintained across Windows and Linux, making it easy to switch back and forth.
VS Code and the WSL extension let you develop in the context of the Linux environment, using those tools and runtimes, from the comfort of Windows.
WSL lets you run a full Linux distro on Windows, where you can install platform-specific toolchains, utilities, and runtimes. With WSL and VS Code, you can now seamlessly develop Linux-based applications on Windows. At the same time, many of these developers are building applications that are deployed to Linux-based servers running in the cloud or on-premises. Windows is the most popular operating system in the world, with almost 50% of developers using it every day. Windows: A great platform for building Linux Apps

Put on your SCUBA gear, because in this follow up we’ll give you a deep dive tutorial on how to setup WSL and VS Code for Python development by creating a Python “Hello World” application. In an earlier blog post, Take your Linux development experience in Windows to the next level with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Visual Studio Code Remote, we introduced an overview of the VS Code Remote – WSL extension, which simplifies Linux development on Windows Subsystem on Linux (WSL).
