Here's your WSL
It just works.
>>109698596based
>>109698596This is like reverse wine I presume, no?
>>109698596I have no need for troonixware on my windows pc.I can do everything I need with powershell.
>>109698596>Cygani win
>>109698596Cygwin is extremely comfy. Have used it whenever stuck on Windows since like 2005. Never felt the need to even touch WSL.
>>109698596it's been almost two decades since i last used it
>>109698596This and Msys2 just work and are much more lightweight since they don't require HyperV and a Linux kernel running just so you can run a few basic shell commands and scripts, since that's the usual use case for WSL.I miss WSL1, the one that was just an NT subsystem that translated Linux syscalls to NT ones instead of using a "slim" VM with a whole kernel in it.
>>109698596Didn’t even know it still exist.
>>109699563>>109698596The only native solutionNot some shitty VM
WSL can't fix shit AMD drivers, or remove the absolute bloat, or stop microsoft from installing microsoft penis on it.
I need cgwin.
>>109698596Undisputedly mogged by real WSL btw.
>>109698596Some syscalls (most notably fork()) are really badly implemented on Cygwin, due to limitations of the Windows kernel. I assume WSL gets around that with it's hypervisor solution (I've never used it) but that would have it's own problems.
>>109698596>get that Linux feelingNo thank you. I like the feeling of my OS just working
>>109705197>WSL gets around that with it's hypervisor solutionIt's called running Linux in a virtual machine. There's no "gets around that", it's just Linux.
>>109699315>just so you can run a few basic shell commands and scripts, since that's the usual use case for WSL.I guess the usecase of developing and building software (with build systems) in a development environment hasn't even occurred in your NEET tinkertroon head
>>109703257>real WSLDo you mean the first version of WSL? Sure, while it was still maintained. WSL2 is a fucking virtual machine, which is shit compared to Cygwin.
>>109705428Cygwin works beautifully with GCC, MingW, Perl, and more.
>>109707657My favorite part about WSLv2 is how they still haven't implemented resolving symlinks over 9P.
>>109705428Yes, and that's a few shell commands and scripts that run at least as well and with less overhead in Msys or Cygwin.
>>109698596Just use AI to make something that's usable. WSL is shit. Cygwin and msys2 is gay.I mean coding is already solved according to Boris.
>>109698646No, it requires recompiling posix programs into windows programs that depend on cygwin to run.It's reverse winelib, which allows compiling windows programs against wine's implementation of Win32.>>109699315>This and Msys2It's mostly the same base, msys2 just does it better by adding pacman on top instead of relying on a weird installer.
>>109708070The bigger difference to me is that msys2 and mingw-gcc use MSVC dlls directly, while Cygwin produces exes that need a Cygwin dll to be distributed with them. The downside is that mingw is a bit less posix compliant than Cygwin because of that, though most things just work.
>>109708973Cygwin can use mingw-w64 too, you can build ported programs just fine without the cygwin DLL. But you are on your own with packages, unlike msys2.
