	All the tools in linux and current MacOS use
1 character to indicate end of line.  It is only windows that has
a problem.

	The GUI that you said was broken on WSL...
	Also, does WSL work in SafeMode?  Nope.
	Cygwin does.  Does WSL work in PE mode?  Nope.
	Cygwin does.  Damn, WSL is a pretty lame solution at this
point.

	Do you have a domain?  Oh, that's right MS, doesn't
support users having domains, and unless you have a Professional
version of Windows, they crippled the client to not work w/Domains.

	So does your copy of windows work in a domain? (a home
domain, BTW -- we aren't talking businesses).

	You haven't been keeping in touch w/linux lately.
It's really that all users will use "systemd" -- oh... wait,
that's a reimplementation of the windows "services" daemon.  So,
you might be right... ;-)
