You can run windows programs out of bash (I mean the wsl bash), and you can also create wrapper bat files to use Linux tools/programs from Windows.

- chaotic_clanger 9y agoi see ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop ) that was not possible when i tried it, thanks for pointing it out
- throwaway7645 9y agoTrue, but it's a hack...not something fluid/elegant/seamless or efficient. I'm not a software engineer. I'm just a traditional engineer that wants an OS written for a power user that allows me to do my job more efficiently. Dealing with a multitude of wrappers is worth it if you're writing production software of course, but not if you write a lot of one off scripts for day to day work.
