I tried this experiment as well. IMO its not where it needs to be.
Windows and Linux subsystem share nothing. I was really hoping for interopibility and the use of bash on windows would be more seamless.
You can't really use the files in linux from a windows app because of user permissions, I think if you create the username in linux as the same as windows you can probably get around this but I haven't tried. From explorer you can't access your linux files anyways, you have to manually type in the address.
I'm assuming the best thing would be to install linux apps on your subsystem, but then I don't see why I just wouldn't install everything on a vm.
I'm still trying to figure it out, but as someone that doesn't game a lot, I'm going back to ubuntu

Can you not access them through C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs ?
