Virtual Linux in windows?

Question

linux

Hello!
Currently using NoxApp (no ads) for android and VMWare Ubuntu (no ads). But this option is not convenient for me, the system cannot get full access to Windows data. Advise how you can run virtual Linux in Windows, which will use the system drive for the usr, root, etc. folders, the d drive for the home folder, and the rest of the drives as separate ones. It is also necessary that all users be exactly the same as in windows and that Linux takes network adapters from Windows. Support for console Linux packages is required. I tried Cygwin for these purposes, but all languages ​​​​except English are so smeared and for the graphical shell you need to use crutches in the form of rdp / vnc.
How do you advise to do everything and what software to use?! Need support for windows 7 SP1 and windows server 2012 R2, no need for windows xp!
Thanks in advance for your replies!!!

Linux is Linux, Windows is Windows. VB is a complete machine inside another machine. Such porridge that you want is not needed by anyone - neither Linux nor Windows ...

Answer 2

As mentioned above, do not interfere with flies with cutlets.
Decide what you use more and put it.
For example, my main system is Windows 10. I will subscribe to MARS and install windows 2016 server (only because of data deduplication)
Everything else is in virtual machines.
Several Linux, routers, macos, windows several stands.
To the heap, an android and iPhone emulator is used through a virtual machine.

It looks like you have no other options besides WSL, especially since WSL 2 is already being launched.
