Personally, I am growing comfortable with Windows Subsystem for Linux. Performance is fine for emacs, I don't have to worry about device drivers, I can run any form of application, I can treat the windows hypervisor as a remote client or as a VM for isolation purposes, I can run multiple versions of Linux, even at the same time, and it isn't as clunky and slow as using a traditional VM like virtualbox. The only thing that makes me jealous is when this post talks about quiet fans, and the battery benefits of Linux. Edit: I forgot to add one more benefit I ran into recently. If you need one version of a library or or tool for one project, and another version for another project, you don't have to monkey around with path scripts and bashrc to replace versions on the fly, you can just have an ideal environment for each project.
