    Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL) does not support any GUI app such as `gedit`. It is text only interface. Try using `vim` or `nano` – user68186 Sep 08 '19 at 11:36
  • Installing an app in Ubuntu needs 2 commands. First, `sudo apt update`. Second, `sudo apt install nano`. You can use `apt-get` instead of `apt`. The `apt-get` is old syntax. – user68186 Sep 08 '19 at 11:44

    Please do not post images of terminal windows. It's hard to read and someone who wants to help cannot copy-paste the commands you've run. Instead, [edit](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1171705/edit) your post to add the text from your terminal using the appropriate [code formatting](https://askubuntu.com/editing-help). – BeastOfCaerbannog Sep 08 '19 at 11:53
