As I understand it, Ubuntu on Windows is literally =E2=80=9CUbuntu on Windo= ws=E2=80=9D so, as Zsh is working like a charm on Ubuntu, I guess it's working as well on =E2=80=9CUbuntu on Windows=E2=80=9D without any change. But I may b= e mistaken. > I love zsh so much on my MacBook Pro and now that Ubuntu on Windows is a > thing, zsh on Ubuntu on Windows can finally be a thing. Zsh on Windows has been working great for years without Ubuntu; you might want to try MSYS2=C2=B9, which is basically =E2=80=9CArch within Wind= ows=E2=80=9D. I'm using Zsh in it to do =E2=80=9CWindows stuff=E2=80=9C and it works as w= ell as one could hope. On the other hand, I've been told (but haven't tried myself) that the current build of Windows 10 only allows you to do =E2=80=9CUbuntu stuff=E2=80=9D on your =E2=80=9CUbuntu on Windows=E2=80=9D = (ie. you can't run Windows programs) which for me kinds of defeat the purpose of having Zsh on Windows (but I guess it will improve very soon).
