Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows for using a Linux environment without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting.

[7] Instead of providing a full environment like Cygwin does, MSYS2 tasks itself with being a development and deployment platform ...
