I really tried myself but switched my XPS on linux after 1 hour. I placed all my hopes on that Ubuntu on Windows thing but it's full of limitations and you can't get through with a working development environment. It's locked on ubuntu 14 from what I recall and you can't really install/compile do your thing freely due to some limitations. If working with nodejs and light stuff I presume it can be okay'ish.

If you switch to the preview releases of Windows they've upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and you can easily execute Windows applications from the Ubuntu shell. The stock terminal is also a lot better (24-bit color!) but I'm using wsltty instead which, aside from not having the ability to use my preferred keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-Shift-C/V for copy/paste) works great. I have kotlin projects open in IntelliJ in Windows and can also run gradle in my Ubuntu environment to work with them.

Hope you're using Kotlin (rather than Apache Groovy) to write your Gradle scripts, since you're using it to build Kotlin code.

As far as I know the only major things not working right now are databases (sockets are not implemented) and network device enumeration (although I don't know if any program uses it). Although your bash can access databases running on the Windows side.

It's good enough for NodeJS, Python, Ruby on Rails, C++ and dotnet core dev. What did you face problems with?

Docker really struggles
