Unfortunately, you can't. For example, it's impossible to properly install PostgreSQL. Also, no 256 colors support. Currently, there are 733 open issues https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues It's still a beta feature. Nowhere near the smooth macOS experience.

Honestly, with the exception of a few commands (ping & such), it's more than sufficient for 'most' stuff.

The only glaring issue is if you mount your windows drive in any form, permissions are fudged. Otherwise, perfectly capable. I'm certain there are bugs, but I use it heavily as a daily driver (admittedly, just managing remote systems) and it's mostly flaw free.
