My latest PC I kept Windows 10 on for a couple weeks before installing Debian, and tried out the windows subsystem for linux. It was actually pretty usable -- the main annoyance was that cmd.exe is a lousy terminal emulator. But I'm told that there are other options available. I don't think I would need to have cygwin anymore in order to be able to do my normal work, were I somehow compelled to use a windows machine full time. I hope we can all try to keep in mind that others' workflows may well differ from our own, and that is (usually) okay. (That is, to some extent, a key theme of this entire long thread.) -Ben
