Right now, I only have experience with the version before the fall creators update, and that has issues:
* As others mentioned, some glibc functionality relies on certain clone() flags that WSL did/does not support. * pacman needs an LD_PRELOAD hack since it insists on using chroot even without a --root option, but WSL does/did not have chroot.
Both are fixed, chroot is supported in the Fall Creators update and the glibc issues have been fixed since. The addition of chroot makes it simple to install Arch. Just let it setup Ubuntu, then use the bootstrap image to install Arch. Copy a couple of dirs in Windows and you're done.
