It's just a shitty shell (of which there are many available for Windows) with some basic utils implemented in JavaScript. It's fucking nothing.

i just tried to install ncmpcpp through cygwin. it took me 30 mins and it didnt work. feels like shit
>>
Why do Winfags want their system to look and function similarly to Linux so badly? Why won't they just install Linux and learn their way around the shell in a proper Unix-like environment where it's actually useful? It seems to me like going out of their way to get these poorly implemented imitations working is a bit silly and somewhat counterproductive.
>>
>>53264347
Because they want feel UNIX without buying overpriced hardware and not doing something more advanced like deploying Hackintosh.
>>
I tried it, the functionality is not the same, its only superficial.


There's GnuWin which is a more complete variant.

>UNIX without buying overpriced hardware

But they don't need to.
>>
>>53264870
but they can
>>
>>53264876

But why would they? Why not just install it in their current Windows machines and get over with it? Is not like installing Linux or a BSD distribution is hard.
