Windows naysayers (so, yeah, that's pretty much all of you: no need to raise your hand: just flag this comment, post your outrage in internal YC groups, and the universe will carry on regardless...) will disregard WSL as being confusing, too little too late, EEE, etc.
But, in the real world? The 'Store' version of WSL (or, as you should call it, GNU/LSW, of course...) is actually pretty good.
Previously, I mostly used WSL (néé GNU/LSW) to get a proper `dig` and `curl`, but in recent builds, I can actually run most previously Linux-only software that I'm interested in, as long as it targets Ubuntu x64.
So, progress, I guess?
