          as someone using Windows at work for the first time the last few months the lack of standard UNIX is baffling and frightening.

          no. Is that Windows 10 only? Or does it involve a vm? There limits on what I can do to my work machine on my own

          bash for windows is still pretty limited perf wise, I still use a VM on my Win10 for all my Ruby https://meta.discourse.org/t/installation-notes-for-discourse-on-bash-for-windows/48141 …

          If relevant, which distro? And in either case: where does GNU/Linux fit in the Win/OSX parallel?

          My main objection is the metaphor. :P But I also don't know of much interesting going on with the NT OSes. At least from my CS lens.

          reimplementing the Linux kernel on top of the NT kernel at least qualifies as interesting ;)

          They've had a POSIX compatibility layer for quite some time. I'm not really sure how another platform translation more interesting.

          I can’t stand how often Win restarts for updates then doesn’t resume any of your work. MacOS updates rarely and resumes your work
