Interesting, so is cygwin going to be based on WSL?

- chungy 8y agoThe attributes to set and unset per-directory case sensitivity have always been available to Win32 processes. It is not specific to WSL (though Windows won't allow it unless you tick the WSL box in the Features dialog. You don't need to install any Linux distro after that.)
