To answer your question, I haven't edited the Windows registry since XP. Reboots are still far too frequent but are at least scheduled at night. "Bash for Windows" is a bad name for Ubuntu apps running natively on the Windows kernel. You have all Ubuntu tools available to you natively--it's honestly a remarkable engineering feat, and once they implement SA_RESTART for Golang it'll be everything I need. You can even access your standard Windows files via Bash via /mnt/c. Cat, tmux, awk and more all work brilliantly.
