Ugh. Cygwin was such a pain back when it was the only option. It was yet another ABI and had all the breakage that implies. Even today, so many open source projects are full of ifdefs for cygwin. I much prefer WSL1 and I've only run into a couple of issues over the last year (can't set Windows time from Linux and ssh-agent doesn't work out of the box) which is a significant improvement over cygwin or even a proper linux distro (which would occasionally boot to a black screen after updating anything related to X)
