Re:Bash and Windows Subsystem for Linux Demo [video] by CRUDmeariver on Tuesday February 21, 2017 @10:06PM (#13702643)
When I was playing around with WSL a few months ago, I came across this emphatic caution from the devs to not modify any files in the Linux subsystem using Windows applications (aka anything with a GUI)[1]. Apparently it destroys file metadata and breaks things.

I know it's not that hard to keep your stuff in /mnt/c or wherever, but I wonder if there is any plan (or if it's even possible) to eliminate this last bit of incompatibility.

Is it possible to run a GUI version of the Linux version of VSCode on WSL?
