EDIT: Seems SUSE has been removed from the Store, I can't find it anymore. Maybe it had too many bugs still?
EDIT: Seems SUSE is in the store after all... :)

Yes. No, maybe ?

YES, FOR SURE THIS TIME!

I had OpenSuse 4.2 on HDD but don't like it. Mint is still the king.

I have mostly run Ubuntu and CentOS. But I have also been using Arch and LinuxFromScratch( both built from scratch/source )

I've been thinking about building a LFS distribution for WSL. But first I need more info on how to write a launcher for it, so I can get it to run independently and possibly push it to the Store.

@CountMike,
You could be right there.
Mine was sending/recieving data PRIOR to the release, to the Azure site in Ireland.
Mentioned it in the last IP thread..

I'll be more than happy to install and test any distro you may code.

I just turn on Task Manager and follow everything there. Main reason was to find out what is happening during those long pauses during install and found out OS disk runs at close to 100% at that time. If it wasn't an SSD it would last much longer.

Great! But first we need to see a 10x HDD IO performance boost in WSL, and I think we also need support for block devices and some other minor upgrades. From what I've read, it will all eventually come to WSL, but currently it's not TOP priority, except for the IO performance which is HORRIBLE. Compilation takes forever because of this. :)

my lock screen reverted to the original picture, after a particularly long boot-up
must've been collecting saved data and restoring settings - sync with cloud, maybe?

got an update to the Xbox One (BETA) App for the PC, from the store
streaming direct from the Console seems improved - less lag perhaps
certainly integrates well with Mobile and PC - all looking good..:)

I'll get the openSUSE Server a bit later. Seems there are only Fedora albums so far. But that's OK. I have Fedora Rawhide running nicely in a Hyper-V VM. As for openSUSE I have to find a few more bits for X but here;s a start.
