Windows requirements
System requirements
- Windows 10 64bit: Pro, Enterprise or Education (Build 17763 or later) if you plan to run Docker for Windows on the machine.
Windows 10
Make sure you're running Windows 10 version 1809 or newer. These have not been tested on other systems.
Windows Subsystem for Linux

I've installed and configured the following distributions using my Linux machine configuration tools.
Pengwin
Pengwin comes with some useful features pre-installed but some of those default packages conflicts with my Linux machine configuration.
