It would be nice if we could add LilyDev to Windows Store.
Thanks for looking at this!
I have a few machines running Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709. Ubuntu
installs nicely from the store. LilyPond seems to do fine on it.
Now, the systemd containers, like LilyDevOS. So far, I haven't been
able to get them working on WSL. It's a pity, because Windows
Subsystem for Linux only seems to allow for one instance of each
version. If I "customize" its Ubuntu beyond all recognition, I can't
just fire up a fresh copy for anything else that wants a "stock"
Ubuntu. Those systemd containers would REALLY come in handy here.
What I've found so far:

That last link is a Microsoft Developer Feedback site. It allows
suggestions for features, and then voting for suggestions. This
container topic is a little crowded, though; more people seem to be
asking for Docker and LXC than for systemd.
Microsoft also has this Windows Subsystem for Linux project on
GitHub. Several systemd discussions there, this one seems the most
promising:
https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/994
That place would probably offer more direct interaction with their
developers. But I know too little about Linux internals to really
take up an intelligent discussion there. CGroups? Namespaces? Never
heard of these things before.
