| (That's dot-space-dot-slash-dot-bashrc). You can now just type the command "giocoso" and konsole will be launched for you, with Giocoso already running within it. It's a slight improvement on doing it all manually, I think! | (That's dot-space-dot-slash-dot-bashrc).

| The short version of this section is, therefore, that of course you can run unsupported distros under WSL, which means you can run Giocoso on them, too. However, you are likely to run into visual presentation issues when Giocoso runs that don't arise in the more 'standard' distros. With a little bit of effort, they can be worked around, so that Giocoso still runs well on Windows... but expect to encounter problems that require workarounds! My personal recommendation is that, given you simply want Giocoso to work well on Windows, stick to a mainstream distro as discussed above in Section 3. | The short version of this section is, therefore, that of course you can run unsupported distros under WSL, which means you can run Giocoso on them, too.

| | ===== 7.0 Conclusion ===== |
| | Summing this all up, therefore: Giocoso doesn't really run on Windows at all: it always runs on Linux. However, the Windows Subsystem for Linux allows you to run Linux on Windows in a practically invisible manner... and that means Giocoso can run, effectively, on Windows after all. WSL installation is straightforward, installing one of the supported distros is easy, and Giocoso installation is mostly straightforward in all cases. Non-mainstream distros are also a possibility but I wouldn't personally recommend them. |
