The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is Microsoft's technology stack that enables native Linux binaries to run in a Windows user environment without the need to install a full fledged Linux distro — native or virtual. This tutorial will help you to get started with getting WSL up and running on your Windows 10 PC. We will also look at some tricks to get basic GUI apps to work in WSL.

Simpler X windows (up to and including electron apps like Visual Studio Code) now pop-up even without SSH with X-forwarding into the subsystem on the 4 latest insider builds. Next update (Redstone4) coming in March will have this.

I'm personally excited for the interop potential this can bring. I think by RS5, Microsoft can advertise WSL as a potential tool for the masses.

Wonderful article.
So how would we remove the Linux system should we decide that we do not want it anymore? Will that require a reinstall?

You can simply uninstall it just like any other Store app, which removes all WSL related files. Of course, you can reinstall it again from the Store and also use multiple distros side by side.
