I think this is an Ubuntu issue, even on stand-alone Ubuntu. I assume the subsystem lets you add PPAs like in vanilla Ubuntu?

Actually I take that back. I did get GCC-6 installed via PPA. Not sure why the other ones had issues.

It does, but for some reason it didn't seem to work. I was totally unable to install later versions of GCC, CMake or Node. Had to manually install from releases or build from source.

Maybe I screwed something up, but I really did try.
