It’s Now Possible to Use openSUSE Inside Windows 10, Here’s How to Install It
SUSE’s Senior Product Manager Hannes Kühnemund is intrigued by the fact that Microsoft chooses to enable the “wrong” Linux distribution, by default, within the Windows Subsystem for Linux used in the company’s latest Windows 10 builds, and he now has his own agenda to teach people how to used SUSE inside WSL.
Install archlinux as the WSL
This project provides an easy way to install a custom, minimal, arch linux distribution as the WSL host.
If you want to try it right now, clone and run the alwsl batch file from a non-admin command prompt. But I encourage you to wait for the stable version (it’s only a few days ;-))

Why I switched from OS X to GNU/Linux; Freedom, Community, Pride, Diversity
I think it started with some dissatisfaction about OS X, and the disire to be, at least in theory, able to change things so they would work like I want them to. This translates directly to the GPL, which is the license most of those programs I use use. Add to that the feeling of membership, because everyone at work is using Linux and also pride and curiousity, I am able to, and am doing it sometimes too look behind the scenes, direcly at the code of everything. This was not possible on OS X at all. And top it off with the fact that I can use Linux on so many different hardware, my laptop, my desktop at work, the security cam I’m running in Poland, the Raspberry Pi, embeded devices in the car (selfdriving cars anyone?), on the phone, on my router, and so on.
All this together is right now so compelling that macOS doesn’t stand a chance.
