For those interested.  A Ubuntu Linux window running on my PC under Windows 10.  It doesn't take up the full screen.



Cheers

That is running in a "virtual machine", a program that creates a virtual computer inside your physical computer. It also appears to be running in console mode, without a desktop. It doesn't take up the full screen because Windows is creating a window for it to run in, and the Linux thinks that window IS the full screen.

I don't know anything much about the MS version of Ubuntu, so I don't know if Microsoft left the desktop off on purpose, or if you just prefer running the console instead. Some people do prefer the command line to the desktop.

If you Google "virtual box" or "vmware", you can get an independent virtual machine program to run any version of Linux or Windows you like within it, and probably with more control over it. The downside is that if MS is providing a Microsoft-approved version in a Microsoft-approved virtual machine, Windows might uninstall any unauthorized virtual box software you install whenever they do their next forced update.
