Sounds like Windows users discovering (and apparently having "fun with") GNU/Linux. None of this is really specific to this subsystem.

I agree. This looks like an elementary Linux tutorial.

Agreed. for an elementary tutorial, I would have not put that

  rm -rf /mnt/c/

command on it, at least I would have put a # in front just in case.

Once the authors discovers GNUScreen/tmux, xargs and other tools, his life will change :)

tmux works, screen shits the bed.

Is there a reason for this / is it likely to be fixed anytime soon? I grew up with screen but this might be a good reason to try out tmux, I guess.

I tried out tmux starting from a week ago after a long time using screen, and after I changed the key-bindings to be more screen-like I have to say that I'm very impressed. I wasn't even close to a screen power user but with tmux I feel like I have screen plus a whole lot of extra.
