Well, okay, Windows is getting bash support. But is it getting the rest of the Linux toolkit? Are we getting real symbolic links and named pipes?

- cwyers 10y agoWSL isn't "bash support," it's a full Ubuntu userland running on a Linux kernel syscall emulator sitting right on top of the NT kernel (so NOT touching the Win32 userland). There are bugs, but the idea is to continue to improve things so that anything you can apt get on a regular Ubuntu install, you can apt get on WSL.
