Does WSL implement all the Linux system calls now? The last time I looked at it, there was no support for PTYs and maybe ptrace? There was also some limitation related to running GUI programs.

  its not Linux, its Ubuntu minus linux. It translates Linux system calls to the Windows kernel, like reverse wine.

  It's still lacking a fair bit of low-level stuff, but hopefully that's on the way.
