Can't wait for a guide, first things to do on your first boot. 1) Turn Off Face Unlock, this feature consume memories and stores large training data for your face and also will drain your battery.
I've been using this for back-end dev since 14.04 distro (lastest update is xenial). Quite stable and very fast, no emulator or vm come close to WSL. Best gift from MS to devs after VS.
