Lots of things are broken or not yet implemented, still lots of problems at this stage. Apparently they already have fixes for some of the issues that have been reported at https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues but not rolled out to users yet. In its current form it could only possibly be a replacement for cygwin if you can get away with your only interoperation between cygwin and win32 executables or libraries being the /cygdrive mounted filesystem. Getting binaries straight from Ubuntu is a cool trick and will be really convenient once enough of the syscalls are working that you don't notice any gaps. I'd prefer a different distro's userland if I had a choice, but maybe that'll be possible later. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
