Cygwin

Seamlessly use Linux software on Windows

Description

Cygwin enables seamless execution of Linux software and command-line utilities on a Windows machine. By providing a compatibility layer, it translates Linux API calls into Windows ones, allowing thousands of popular open-source programs to run. You can maintain your productivity using shells, scripting languages, and development environments as if you were on a native Linux system. The setup is straightforward—download the installer, choose your preferred packages from the extensive list, and start working immediately. This integration is ideal for developers, system administrators, and power users who want to leverage their Linux skills and tools without switching away from their primary Windows OS.
