Fish without water

Hate my new gig. Have to work on Windows as the corporate policy only allows windows to access internal resources. Hate the keyboard of surface book and all that metal. I am spoilt by the delicious Thinkpad touch and feel.
I have installed WSL to be able to use find and other gnu utils but I can't use xdg-open directly from the find results because its windows(death). I grep, head or tail to grab the right file and copy to /mnt/c/users/username/Downloads and then open it from Windows explorer.
I have to either learn cmd/powershell or get vncserver going in WSL so I can login to Debian goodeness from Windows/mordor.
Or quit stating inability to be productive using the crap tools provided.
Rant over.
