You should try-out more recent builds of Bash/WSL - I think you'll find A LOT more things work now than did when we shipped Win10 AU :)

Great idea - can't wait to see your post :)

"They should really document this issue better, like in the docs for installing WSL" What, like this bit in the install instructions page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_gui

Any app, tool or script on your PC has the potential to corrupt your filesystem.

In more recent Windows Insider builds, Tmux & Screen now work correctly, as does network connection enumeration (e.g. via ifconfig), sshd works as expected, along with MySQL, Apache, nginx, etc.

Small correction: "I move files manually into the lxss folder" USING WINDOWS! ;) Copying or moving files via Bash using cp / mv works as expected.

If/when this issue is resolved, the guidance will be updated. Until then, don't go futzing with files in hidden system folders.

"WSL is grafted on to Windows, and has low priority" - not sure the team of ~12+ of us would agree with you on that. And how would the shell team put up a banner in Sublime? If the kernel prevented these files from being written t

Not as simple as this because some tools create a working copy of a file when it's being modified, and then replace original file once changes are saved. Mapping these changes to the same file "identity" likely v. error prone

There's a big difference between Cygwin and Bash on Windows though: Cygwin is a Win32 port of the GNU tools, whereas Bash on Windows is a Linux kernel emulation layer that allows you to run unmodified Linux binaries directly on Windows

@eswat : So long as your shader files are stored in a non-protected folder (e.g. C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, etc.), you shouldn't need Admin rights to load them.

We're focusing on mainstream developer scenarios to start with (esp. Ruby, Java, Python, etc); we'll get to more advanced, esoteric, and exotic technologies later. FWIW, many core Linux tools (e.g. tar, gzip/gunzip) work* wel

PM for Bash on Windows here. In answer to some of your questions: "Current beef is the BashOnWindows alpha. Why was this pushed out so early?" We released this feature early because we wanted to get it into the hands of the commun

Want to make this absolutely clear - this is a command-line only toolset for developers. It is not built to support GUI desktops/apps. It is not built to run production Linux server workloads. It is not suitable for running micro-servi

Your points are fair, but color with the fact that the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is build to be distro-agnostic. We picked Ubuntu in this first version due to its popularity with developers, but there are few technical reasons (othe

Yes - Cygwin is essentially the GNU tools recompiled as Win32 apps using a helper library for shared code etc. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) which underpins Ubuntu on Windows is new Windows kernel infrastructure that exposes a LINUX-com

Close, except ... There is NO Windows "apt-get stuff" - it's just apt-get. From Ubuntu.

No - this is a whole new thing. The Windows POSIX subsystem which shipped in NT 3.5.1 was a minimal implementation of POSIX syscall API plus a userland toolset. That was replaced with Interix which was renamed Services for Unix (SFU) which

Swallowing? No. Supporting, yes! We want Windows to be your home - the best place to build apps for all the platforms and all the devices. Period. In case you've not noticed, this is a very, VERY different Microsoft, one I re-joined re

Good summary of some of the design decisions and implementation choices made by the team that built the new Azure admin portal.
