Is there a way to chroot the linux distro? I'd love to be able to have multiple systems (even if I could only have 1 active at a time). It would be great for experimentation ala VMs.

That is why we have VMs this is not a VM but a subsystem that is sharing the same space as Windows.

His request is not really all that unreasonable. And given how the subsystems work seems to me like it might be within reason to implement.

But you don't really have a distribution you have Linux Tools in Windows. I have seen some github work on switching between the Linux in Windows.
