Interesting links @NecrosoftCore - I've moved this to a new thread, as they were a bit of of context previously.

Have you tried running Linux on W10 yet?

I had a go. It haa severe limitations. I am not a Linux user or expert so I gave up. It doesn't seem to be the full thing - not a lot you can do with it.

Any (or nearly all) Linux version should work in Virtualbox or something similar, I haven't tried it in Windows though?.

I wouldn't use OpenSuse though as it has always had problems with dependencies as far as I'm concerned, I mostly use Ubuntu based variants but also like PCLinuxOS as a good alternative.

Only for Windows 10 Insiders as they require a build 16190 or higher

Anyone can install any version of Ubuntu in Windows using VirtualBox, it doesn't matter if its a preview version or not, they just need the right software but as @Grizzly points out above, the version on offer from the store is only for Windows 10 preview versions!.

See the following links if anyone is interested using Ubuntu if they have a non preview version of Windows 10:

Or just take the plunge and dual boot.
