I’ve had a pretty poor experience with it myself, so I wanna see what the Linux community thinks about this.

    Same. Well, not forced, but using Linux would just make everything more difficult. I like being able to drop to a shell and use a Linux environment with its useful utilities to manipulate stuff on my Windows PC.

    Yeah, I could use mingw, but that is a pain, and I can’t just apt install stuff.

      Not the same as apt, but there’s Chocolately, which is actually a legitimate package manager for Windows.

      choco install firefox
      

      There’s also a package called gsudo which allows you to preface a PowerShell command with sudo to run it as an administrator. It will cause a UAC prompt.

      sudo choco update all
