windows 10 - (Windows10) Ubuntu bash multitasking. is it possbile - Ask Ubuntu


(i'm newbie , sorry possibnly silly questions)

i heard bash has capability of multitasking. mean ability run few terminals/console applications , switch between these (ctrl+alt+fx??) .

is possible in ubuntu subsystem in windows 10

yes, can run apps in background on bash on windows (see this useful guide).

update 2018-02-06

removed previous caveat since introduced ability wsl keep daemons/background-services running if close linux consoles: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/12/04/background-task-support-in-wsl/

also, yes, wsl supports backgrounding tasks, running multiple sessions in different panes of single console via tmux/screen, or multiple windows console instances operating same distro instance.
