Re: FRCSim on Windows 10 Linux Subsystem
Don't think it would work, for many reasons. Biggest one of which is that FRCSim/Gazebo is going to expect to be running under the X11 Window Server, which is basically how everything you see on linux that isn't a straight-up full screen console works (press ctrl-alt-f2 or ctrl-alt-fn-f2 on the ubuntu laptop to see what I mean, same thing but with f7 gets you back to GUI mode). As well, Gazebo is going to need GTK/QT (window theming), and a window manager, and all of that. You could probably get it to work with a ton of work and Xming or something (X11 for Windows, basically), but I'd say it's not worth the effort.
