- FireBeyond 9y agoI'd be surprised if WSL ever made it to LTSB. Especially if you read the article and MS's definitive of what the intended use case is.
- pas 9y agoThe Bash that comes with Git (which uses msys AFAIK) works pretty well.
- symlinkk 9y agoIt uses MSYS2 actually, which is a completely different project.
- mappu 9y agoTo expand on that: MSYS was a fork of Cygwin 1.3, and MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin 1.7. (Babun is a distro of Cygwin, and Git-bash is a distro of MSYS2.)
- dingo_bat 9y agoCan it run executables compiled for Ubuntu?
- ams6110 9y agoIs Cygwin still maintained? It was the first thing I installed on Windows going back over a decade.
- milcron 9y agoYes, but I prefer MSYS2 these days. It's a lot like Cygwin, but uses pacman as a package manager instead of Cygwin's setup.exe.
