Ubuntu on Windows really works nicely for me.

  I really like Ubuntu, but I don't think it is ready for everyday regular users.

    I know plenty of "everyday regular users" that would disagree with you, considering that they spend 99% of their time in a browser.

  Seems like most people use Linux because they value their privacy. Using it through windows kind of defeats the purpose of using Linux. Also, to me it seems that by implementing a Linux sub-system, Microsoft is basically admitting that their OS isn't good enough for developers on its own. Personally, I don't know anyone who chooses to use windows, just people who need it for some reason. It's a privacy nightmare and anyone who considers themselves a "hacker" and still chooses Windows when all they need is Linux, isn't really a "hacker" imo (or at least, they haven't given much thought as to why they should value privacy and freedom).

    Seems like most people use Linux because they want to develop software like NodeJS in a shell.
