I can confirm Cygwin works with 10. Its default package manager includes most of the standard POSIX tools. I've used it a lot for on-Windows/for-Windows development, but always as a complement to native Windows tools.

This is great news. It offers a lot of what the author wants (except the speed of WSL2). I would expect it to be less-complete than WSL1 (it looks like Linux, until you look it from up close) but faster, because it doesn't try as hard to be a Linux.

  I've used MinGW's MSYS which gives you a posix development environment. Was the simplest way to get support for autotools on windows. Useful if you need to cross compile a library on windows.
