Ask HN: Is anyone using the Windows 10 Subsytem for Linux?
So I recently got a new machine (Windows 10 PC) and I came across this reference[1] for downloading the Windows 10 subsystem for Linux. I downloaded and installed everything fine per the docs, but now my question is:
What are the limitations on this instance of Linux?
Can I use all my machine's resources (RAM, Disk, CPU)? Or are only a certain amount of these resources allocated for the Linux instance? I ask because being able to run Linux on this machine this easily sounds a bit...too good to be true. Any documentation references will be much appreciated.
