Looks to me like it's a way for Linux developers (users to a lesser extent) to run Linux commands and services (like SSHD), even a Linux desktop, within the Windows context, without having to spin up a Linux VM, or install a third-party Linux-like environment such as Cygwin.

It's not a Linux distro. It's a support/translation layer that redirects Linux system calls into the Windows system for execution.

If you desired a true distro (eg.g. Mint), you need to put it in a VM (under windows).
