I tried to install ibus-mozc, but it didn't work. So decided to use uim-anthy. See fcitx-mozc installation at https://qiita.com/maromaro3721/items/be8ce6e3cec4cbcdac00

Intellij

Note: snap command is not working on WSL now.

Interacting with snapd is not yet supported on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
This command has been left available for documentation purposes only.

Unofficial Debian / Ubuntu packages of IntelliJ IDEA from JetBrains.
https://launchpad.net/~mmk2410/+archive/ubuntu/intellij-idea
Note: It is your responsibility to use unofficial installer

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mmk2410/intellij-idea
sudo apt update
sudo apt install intellij-idea-community

IDE -> プログラミング -> IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
(/usr/share/applications/intellij-idea-community.desktop)

docker on WSL

Note: Ubuntu 18.04 on WSL with Windows 10 1803 does not support latest docker of version 18.
You need to update windows 10 from 1803 to 1809.

$ uname -a

The below operation is bad installation, showing only for demostrate purpose

# install (fails)
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install -y docker.io
sudo apt-get install -y docker.io
# restart bash as Admin priviledge (meaning cmd or other console runs as Admin and typo `bash`)
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
sudo cgroupfs-mount
sudo service docker start
docker run hello-world

Error occurs. Need to downgrade (see https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/591)

$ docker run hello-world
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:301: running exec setns process for init caused \"exit status 23\"": unknown.
ERRO[0009] error waiting for container: context canceled

Install docker-ce, not docker.io
(https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-docker-engine-and-docker-io-packages)

# https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)  stable"
# check previous version
apt-cache madison docker-ce
sudo apt-get install docker-ce=18.06.1~ce~3-0~ubuntu # this version works

# service
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

sudo cgroupfs-mount
sudo service docker start
docker version

If docker service is resistered, you do not need run bash as Admin.
Restart your windows shell as normal user.

$ docker run -it --rm hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (amd64)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

That's all.
