Yes. As the name suggests, it is a (complete?) subsystem. As Aaron said you'd have to install a Linux version of Frescobaldi that runs inside the subsystem. Yes that's possible but I'd say in that case you're better of with a Linux system in a VM. > Is there something like a $PATH to look for Linux commands? No, at least not that I'm aware. There is quite some environment setup and switching required. After all inside the WSL you have a complete Linux runtime environment. Inside the WSL you can run regular Linux commands as opposed to Linux executables specifically prepared for this environment (ala cygwin). The WSL comes in many different Linux distro flavours. However IMO it is not a replacement for a proper Linux system. Even a local Linux VM is better suited for most tasks IMO.
