You have a choice. Currently, there's only Ubuntu and two Suse variants, but they've promissed to expand their offerings. See this article: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/05/11/new-distros-coming-to-bashwsl-via-windows-store/ I've heard rumors of more--like Arch. I'm currently running Ubuntu in a recently installed Windows 10 on a 2014 era Mac Airbook BootCamp partition. Biggest disappointment so far is no audio support--it's simply not wired in.
