Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux for web development?
Hello everyone. Lately I've installed latest Windows 10 Anniversary update. One of the best features is for developers and sys admins, and that is "Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux".
To fully understand my question I'll first write my current web dev setup. I'm a PHP developer and when working on Windows 10 machine I use VirtualBox+Vagrant with Homestead box (official Vagrant box for Laravel devs). Nginx, PHP, MySQL are installed on guest machine which serves application to my host machine. It works well on machines with decent CPU, SSD and with at least 8GB of RAM.
Is it possible to use Windows 10 Subsystem similar how we use Vagrant? I want that my web app files are shared on my Windows 10 and "guest Linux" (technically it's not guest) OS. Haven't really tried it yet but It would be nice to have it used that way cause you don't have overhead from vritualization. Did anybody try something like this? And if you are, does it work well or at all? Can you share some details? Thanks :)
