After falling out of love with macOS a couple decades ago, I've been using WSL/VMs on Win{7|10|11}. While I sort of detest the ads on my corporate Win11 laptop, it's what the corporation requires I use. VirtualBox on Win7 was a very usable solution. WSL1 on Win10 was a tiny bit rough, but WSL2 on Win10/11 has been pretty decent. The only problem I have is it's unclear who "owns" mDNS: windows side or leenucks side. For most of the last several years it just plain didn't work on the leenucks side. Then a work-around was published, but it seems to not work now.

But... I love small charts like this. I hadn't been thinking about cygwin or MinGW. It's good to be reminded they still exist.
