It’s the Linux subsystem. It opens up bash for you with all the Ubuntu goodness available.

Why are they using the old logo 🙁
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Spots:
Sublime Text
WSL – Ubuntu
Firefox
Visual Studio Code
99.9% chance this was a web developer tutorial.
Don’t tell anyone, but I prefer Windows when it comes to the GUI, programs like Photoshop and video games. I prefer Linux for the command-line, running a web server, and just about everything else.
To me, this is kind of the best of both worlds. I get to run Ubuntu inside Windows on my local computer and get near native performance.
It’s the Linux subsystem in window 10 Microsoft store
* No systemd services
* Wonky gui supported
Usually it’s the orange icon but for some reason I see the white one when extending my desktop to a second monitor.

Check out WSL2 that’s in preview (release around q1 next year)

There where some really good sessions during Ignite last week as well. Quite the step up from WSL1
With Windows 1903 and later you can have one terminal app that opens different terminals as tabs: Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, Powershell, cmd…
Like that feature a lot. Before I had Ubuntu, ps and cmd next to each other and that’s three icons in the taskbar..
Sublime text 3
Looks like sublime text. It’s a text editor
Maybe a vm?
