Re: What's happening with the Cygwin project?

[swl]

Perhaps a little off topic, but perhaps not given WSL is being discussed elsewhere in this thread.

I'm somewhat surprised that nobody has mentioned MSYS2. I switched to it from Cygwin some years ago. It has a good selection of packages and integrates with windows programs more easily than WSL instances. i.e. one can run the usual unix utilities and then call windows utilities if and when needed.

(Although FWIW, I use WSL far more than MSYS2 as then I can test code on native unix/linux).
