Don't forget to install some Powerline fonts. note: I have not found a Powerline font that looks quite right on Windows, http://i.imgur.com/BeselzS.png, http://i.imgur.com/ycb10AK.png (Anonymice suggestion courtesy of Amr)
Have not tried yet, see https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/279#issuecomment-218726174
Looks like my iTerm2 setup on OSX
Install Xming and launch it. You will see a little X icon in your tray.
Install Sublime Text in WSL bash environment:
sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 wget https://download.sublimetext.com/sublime_text_3_build_3114_x64.tar.bz2 tar xvjf sublime_text_3_build_3114_x64.tar.bz2 DISPLAY=:0.0 ./sublime_text_3/sublime_text
Then you can run the following to launch Sublime Text
DISPLAY=:0.0 ./sublime_text_3/sublime_text
If you want to make an easy shortcut, perhaps this will work for you. It gives me a Unable to Connect to dbus
error though.
C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe ~ -c "DISPLAY=:0 /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text"
echo something | clip.exe

ifconfig
is not supportedSee
$ ifconfig
Command 'ifconfig' is available in '/sbin/ifconfig'
The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative privileges associated with your user account.
ifconfig: command not found
$ sudo /sbin/ifconfig
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.
