Getting PyCharm to recognize python on the windows linux subsystem (bash on windows)

Question

Answer 1

I'd like to add the answer of bmjjr by stating that this is only available with the PyCharm Professional Edition. The Remote Interpreter feature is not available with the Community Edition, as I sadly found out:
