@Nebrethar : I am going to say this in public because its important for everyone to understand: The “Ubuntu” you get in a Microsoft Windows distribution simply does NOT function for development anything like regular Ubuntu. This use of the Ubuntu brand under Windows is confusing, and the source of a great deal of PAIN for students in computer science that I teach, who expect they are getting a OS subsystem that will function EXACTLY LIKE Ubuntu. It simply does not, and frequently creates exactly the kinds of issues you describe for a dozen of the 70 students on Windows in my software engineering class.
Seriously: Ubuntu on windows is the most #2020 “OS” out there. 😃
