PowerShell 7 can be installed on Linux and MacOS! Native too, not like cygwin bash.

Around the same time that came out, so did WSL so I never really learned PowerShell because now it's so easy to run real bash on Windows.

Are you suggesting that cygwin's bash is not "native"? It isn't installed by default, obviously, but it is a native Windows executable, as are the other command-line tools generally installed with it.


cygwin has a different ABI, and does weird things for its POSIX compatibility. In that sense, it's not native.
