I used to use Babun at work. Essentially a nice bundle of a bunch of nice stuff for Cygwin.
It had this package manager but if you updated Cygwin itself then it would break everything. I had to get the Cygwin.dll file from a coworker because the install process downloaded it but I didn’t want to reinstall lmao. I remember it being a pain because so many IT things were blocking us trying to share a dll file.
I still wish I could virtualize OS/2 in kvm… good old days of warp 3 and 4.0. Very stable for a BBS, with a Linux networked server next to it. (In '95)
Only if you’re doing it on a virtual machine hosted on OS/2.
Remember Cygwin I don’t care how deep you are into Windows, if you do anything with cygwin your Linux geek.
https://www.cygwin.com/cgit/newlib-cygwin/ Wow, people are still committing
What about WSL?
I think that’s what really killed the cygwin popularity

Still struggle with ipv6, like something from the 1990’s
