About

Get that Linux feeling on Windows. Cygwin is a large collection of GNU and open-source tools that provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. And a DLL (cygwin1.dll) that provides substantial POSIX API functionality. Cygwin is not a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from the source if you want it to run on Windows. It can't magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality. The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86_64 versions of Windows, starting with Windows Vista. Use the setup program to perform a fresh install or to update an existing installation. Keep in mind that individual packages in the distribution are updated separately from the DLL so the Cygwin DLL version is not useful as a general Cygwin distribution release number.

About

Winux is a Linux-based operating system designed to replicate the look and feel of Microsoft Windows while maintaining the flexibility and performance of a Linux distribution. Built on Ubuntu, it uses a customized desktop environment that closely mimics Windows 10 and Windows 11, including a familiar Start menu, taskbar, icons, and overall interface, making it easier for users transitioning from Windows to adapt quickly. It does not require strict hardware features such as TPM or Secure Boot, allowing it to run on older or less powerful machines while still delivering fast boot times and responsive performance. Winux includes compatibility layers like Wine, enabling users to run Windows applications such as .exe and .msi files directly within the system, alongside native Linux software and package support through Snap and Flatpak.
