I wish to work on Linux, but the only machine l have at my disposal is my brother’s windows laptop when it’s free. Can I create a virtual Linux system using QEMU ?

    You can install a terminal multiplexer: sudo apt-get install byobu - and launch it: byobu, then follow the instructions on how to use multiple CLI apps at the same time. For example, install zsh, vim, ffmpeg and other console programs you wanted, and launch them in multiple byobu tabs. If you want to install a desktop application, you can do that with apt-get as well, and WSL will create a shortcut in your Windows start menu. Basically, you work on your Windows desktop and use GNU/Linux apps at the same time.
