I'm really excited about WSL:
My laptop: Gets < 2 hours w/ Ubuntu, > 6 hours w/ windows.
My Desktop: Not having to manage dual-booting between Gaming & Hobby-Time programming... Being able to hack on python/node and deploy to my Pi, play a game of Overwatch, then working again.
If power management was something that I didn't have to spend hours to get right, I probably wouldn't be so dreamy-eyed over WSL... But they just finally figured out how to support Video Card Switching (Prime) after 5 years, I'm not holding out for any big improvements.

I suppose you mean closed Nvidia driver only now starting to support standard features. That's Nvidia's problem, not Linux problem really. > play a game of Overwatch, then working again. I get it, though I simply skip games that don't work on Linux. And I'm not interested in supporting a company with dismissive attitude towards Linux gamers either[1]. 1. https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/president-of-blizzard-responds-to-the-linux-petition-petition-owner-creates-childish-response.5080 https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/president-of-blizzard...
