Today we’re very excited to announce the open-source release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This is the result of a multiyear effort to prepare for this, and a great closure to the first ever issue raised on the Microsoft/WSL repo:

Unfortunately building it was a disaster a few years ago, I should give it another go.

Why were you trying to build it? You can find both ""stable"" release and nightly builds on ReactOS website.

ReactOS 0.4.16 was just released, but I do recommend just getting a nightly build, unless it doesn't work and you have enough patience to try out the regular version as well.
