Where are normal consoles found?

Question

linux

I can't live without wget, sed, vim and so on, but I have Windows, changing it to linux is not an option.
I tried embedded ubuntu in Windows and cygwin - both have a lot of the same bugs that do not allow you to execute the usual commands.
Are there any alternatives besides virtual machines?

Answer 1

Discover msys2.
Unlike cygwin, it is less heavy.
In its pure form, it gives a full-fledged bash under Windows, with a standard set of Linux tools. In addition, all tools can be called from the Windows console or batch files, because. these are ordinary Windows exe, adding the directory where they are in the PATH variable (maybe this is done during installation, I don’t remember anymore).
In addition, there is a package manager - pacman and a set of packages. Install gcc and you can build most of the nix software for Windows.
I myself regularly use it both for assembly and tools like sed and grep.

Answer 2

Yes
Do not use non-POSIX OS

Answer 3

I use cygwin - in principle, the flight is normal. What exactly are bugs?
I also saw a package of UnixUtils packages compiled for Windows. I added them to my system path - and used it directly from the Windows console.
The same wget compiles remarkably under windows from source.

cygwin, everything is there.
There is even a package manager, something can be delivered. More than enough for work, the only thing I miss is bookmarks in the console.
