Help with Windows 10 question!!!

Is there a way rebuild a Linux application from source if you want native Linux to run on Windows 10? This is related to the console foundations course. I do not know how to add on specific markers to explicitly denote that my question is related to a specific video. Every time I press the ask comment it always directs me away from the area where questions are asked about a specific video.

Linux and windows are different. There is some ways to help run some linux apps though which I have linked below. There isn't an easy way to just rebuild the code.

Linux users can use a program called Wine that allows them to run some windows programs:

Please consider ditching windows and using linux. Microsoft supports genocide and NSA spying:

Linux is way better for learning development.

Okay thanks for the advice. I see many programmers using Linux based programs. So it must be better for coding.
