I'm running Debian GNU/Linux through the Windows Subsystem, and I thought it was pretty cool. However, I'm having issues setting up colors in my terminal and VIM. I used to use Ubuntu as a thing to play around in, and when I programmed in VIM, there was syntax coloring, line numbers, etc. However, when I run VIM the way I am now in the Windows Subsystem, the text is all black. Is there a way to modify my .VIMRC file to show colors again, or is the lack of color an issue with the Windows Subsystem? Likewise, how can I do the same with my terminal? The colors seem dull and muted, so is there a way to change the color profile in my terminal as well?
