Have you tried the Windows Subsystem for Linux?

  Not OP, but I'm genuinely interested in how this experience is. What do you think of it compared to using, say, iTerm2 on OSX? I've been thinking of switching back to a Windows PC since I haven't been very impressed by OSX in the last couple of years.

    I've been using it since it's release to the fast insider ring and at work since it's release to the slow insider ring. It does everything I need to do. Build C++ with GCC or clang. ssh client works fine (have not tried ssh server, but supposedly supported). Python, Perl work fine. Have had some UI issues with the console, but those have been fixed on the fast ring. The team behind WSL is also very responsive to issues reported at github.

    It's quite impressive. Ex Valgrind runs out of the box in last Insider versions.

  I haven't tried it yet, but I am looking forward to it.
