Not every programmer has to play Linux, but the blogger thinks that many of the current servers are Linux systems, and they belong to that kind of front-end and back-end, they are also interested in framework construction, but many in production The framework and tools are installed on the server, and many large companies require familiarity with development on Linux, so it is necessary to learn more about Linux from personal career development.

(Checked on the blogger's website, now most of the server installation systems are: ubuntu server, centos, suse linux enterprise, redhat linux, etc.)

So today the blogger installed Ubuntu on the virtual machine and shared the entire installation process with everyone. The reason for not installing dual systems is to consider a lot of inconveniences. For example, if you develop an example on linux, you want to write a blog, and blogging is definitely more convenient on windows, and the code needs to be obtained from one system Another system, here is the inconvenience of dual systems. In addition, another advantage of installing linux on a virtual machine is that you can download the tool installation package on windows and install it on linux.
