what do you mean? that's still the only way to work as a human in windows. wsl1 almost replaced it, but obviously they scrapped it.

if you must use windows, it's because you will compile for windows. so you install MSYS, which is a linux distro-ish compiled native for windows. and do your work.

wsl2 (and this apple thing) is just a meme. if you're working in it, you're better of just installing Linux or ssh'ing to a server.

Many enterprises allow windows only so your way into Linux is via WSL2

		There is also git-bash which usually doesn’t need to have administrator to be installed. https://git-scm.com/install/windows

shrug. I haven't owned a Windows machine in years at this point. It's one of those things like PHP that I just decided my life was better off without.
