In short: yes. I recently went through this with a new work laptop.
I checked a couple boxes, restarted, and installed ConEmu.
I added symlinks in my bash home directory for "c", "docs", and "downloads", and pinned my Linux installation as a favorite in Windows Explorer, which makes file management between the two systems incredibly easy.
I installed git, and zsh, and a lot of the other basics. Zero issues. It's a normal Ubuntu installation.
I've been thrilled with it, so much so that I just plunked down some money for my first Windows laptop in years, and I'm selling my old Macbook Pro.
It's the real deal. Microsoft is on fire lately.
