If I can viably develop on Windows instead of a slow (on my i3 laptop) Linux VM I'll be thrilled. Not getting my hopes up though.

  I'm pretty sure WSL is not enough for any decent sized dev effort. And running Linux on a VM on an i3 would just be masochistic. Stick to Linux would be my suggestion.

    It's really not thaat bad most of the time. And I would but I don't trust Windows updates to not eventually trash any dual boot setup, or Linux updates not eventually trash my graphics drivers etc.

      WHy not switch completely to Linux? Unless you play games.

        A bit of LoL here and there, plus little things like being able to cast to my roku hassle free and reliable sleep/suspend. Was all Linux for a few years but the man won. I know I should probably get a real dev machine but this is what I'm working with at the moment. Really my current development needs consist of git, ssh, node, redis, mysql, apache, and python. If WSL can do that I'm all set.
