I would do that, but my lazy self setup other alt shells before this became a thing and I never switched over  I need motivation! XD

By my understanding of reading some of the comments, on newer builds of W10, developer mode is no longer required.  Just turn the feature on in programs.

I currently have cygwin on mine.  But, I'm going to give this a shot since I like the idea of kicking Rutty off my install, and just make myself some bash ssh functions for my network.  Though, hopefully I can get the install files for the distro without needing the Window Store installed (I have that stripped out of my OS image).
