    Weird not to see Arch in the list, https://github.com/alwsl/alwsl did the trick for me.

    Is there a way to chroot the linux distro? I'd love to be able to have multiple systems (even if I could only have 1 active at a time). It would be great for experimentation ala VMs.

    Great work, I'll definitely be checking this out. I find myself using the WSL more and more recently. It still has plenty of rough edges, but Microsoft seem to be committed to improving it. The lack of a full Linux like terminal is probably one of the bigger reasons I can't switch fully over to Windows.
