What can one do with that "subsystem"?

I want to use all the software that is in the Debian repos. I don't want Microsoft to spy on me. And I don't want to be exposed to their security issues.

They have this, more or less (well, Ubuntu rather than Debian). You get real apt-get and you can install things, most of them work.

No luck there, though it seems like everyone short of the BSDs is doing that these days :(.

You still are, though again I don't think their security position is worse than anyone else (again, short of the BSDs) these days.
