If you are using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10, the following news is for you. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) will support Flatpak very soon. This way, you'll be able to install new versions of applications the same way you do on mainstream Linux distributions.
Flatpak software (formerly xdg-app) is one utility for software development, package management, and application virtualization on Linux computers. It provides a sandbox environment within which users can run applications in isolation from the rest system.
Flatpak allows installation bleeding-edge applications. Flatpak packages come with all required sub-packages so you don't need to recompile the code to install the latest version of an application.
Alexander Larsson, the chief developer and developer of the Flatpak package system, announced the addition of Flatpak to WSL application blog.
The project is still in development, but anyway, the news is great. Someday, it will be able to work on one functional Linux environment running on Windows 10 with just a few clicks.
