We have a new tutorial series and this one is on WSL. With WSL, people can use Linux command line inside Windows. It is a popular tool among students and developers. Many people are getting their first experience of Linux commands with WSL so it was about time that we created some good resources on it.
It's FOSS WSL series covers all the essentials in nine tutorials.

💡 Quick handy tip
In Firefox, you can force the websites to use custom fonts. First open settings, then under the General tab, scroll down to the Fonts section.
