WSL is a bug ridden POS. Avoid at all costs.
Kevin Edwards
cygwin works, but put in the extra effort and use cmder instead. install zsh and oh my zsh in cmder, boom, you've got a pretty solid shell environment in Windows now. edit .bashrc to put aliases for powershell, common directories, common programs, and you're gold.

You can just install Linux subsystem on windows. Cygwin is depreciated.

Only thing that annoys me about Cygwin is that it doesn't support Ctrl+V for paste.

Because VMs are slow and running Loonix bare metal is a pain.

Jayden Johnson
cygwin binaries have dependencies on the Cygwin DLLs so they aren't portable. MSYS2 binaries are portable. Cygwin also doesn't have a CLI package manager or a full implementation of bash.

No you should be using MinGW or MinGW-64 if you want to develop Linux programs on your Windows OS.
