So it runs on vanilla Wine 11.21 actually
The development suite works too. But for debugging, you need to set SHELL=/bin/sh in Wine, as if it tries to run bash, it fails, as Linux vars bleed into that Cygwin environment

The Palm OS Cobalt simulator running on Wine Staging. A lot of it is native Win32, because the PalmSource did not make an ARM emulator.
The fact that it is running is impressive

Windows側ではまだUNIX環境に近づけようとするとCygwinに頼りがちで、実際Cygwinも使っていた
そして就職して初期はTera Termを使っていたが、すぐにPuTTYになった。
Windows環境ではTera TermやTerapadではなくて、Cygwinと…Cygwinは環境が汚れると言われて…MSYS, minttyを使ったり、さくらエディターを使ったりしていた。EmacsのWindows向けビルドもあったがどうにも不安定だった。
Vimは安定してきていた感じがしてVimに移った。
ちょうどこの時期に世間的にもエディターはSublimeとかAtomとか出始めていた。

Ironically, this is a part of why I ended up staying mostly with C in my early days: Cygwin had "g++", but it couldn't really compile anything, as even the smallest program would tend to explode in a storm of compiler and linker error messages with full name-mangling on display. Was fun times...

Looks like it does, technically speaking, work if I use a third-party server. Here it is with XWin32 5.40 on Win2k.

Trying to find old (2001-2002 era) versions of the #cygwin /X distribution and having only limited success. I did manage to find a partial fileset for v4.1.0 (ca. July 2001) that seems to have the client binaries, libs and headers, but not the server.
Might be enough? 🤷♀️

Ah yes I remember now - it’s what Cygwin (and later WSL) always wanted to be but couldn’t because it didn’t actually boot a Linux kernel (whereas WSL2 does, albeit in a VM).

Question.. what do you use it for? Back in the day we’d use Cygwin to run certain tools that were generally for Linux but weren’t ported to Windows and instead were compiled against (mostly) their original libraries (plus a decent shell because cmd.exe sucks). That still the general reason?

In practice, it's almost always left blank. When something does use it, it tends to be something pointless like the program's name or literally just "Class".
AFAICT, you can also only set the class when creating a key and can't change it afterwards, making it inconvenient for many things.

WSL -- дуже охуєнна штука.
Колись я купив мак виключно тому, що постійного сексу з Linux не хотілося, а от його утілити в роботі були потрібні (Cygwin це не те :).
А тепер можна обійтися віндою (яка стала ну дуже краще порівняно з 7-8), зробити через WSL віртуалку і спокійно працювати.

i liked the one shell script that eventually invoked a .x file that was actually another shell script, not a *nix executable like any reasonable person would assume
"wait, the script has figured out by this point that it's running in Cygwin on a Windows machine, why is it calling a .x? ...oh, ew"

PowerShell is great. I'm no power user, but after decades toying around with Bash, Perl, Cygwin, and cmd.exe, it works well enough for me.
Any suggestions for a better terminal and scripting setup on Win11? Looking into Git Bash (probably closest to my needs), Nushell, or an Alacritty+Python combo.
