I was going to post exactly that, lol
nice
No, that’s a specific number.
what
69 -> nice.
I referenced an overused, childish joke.
it used for cpu cores
Same
what does it do?

Slightly unrelated but cygwin will run better on windows (its way lighter)
Better in which way? WSL2 is a VM running ALONGSIDE Windows, not inside. Its performance is basically bare metal. If you have enough RAM, there is no reason to use cygwin instead of WSL2.
its complicated please dont blame me for WSL
In that case why don’t you just run a VM or install bare metal. WSL strips you of control just like Windows itself does.
its complicated as i replied to someone else’s comment…
im not a “it just works” user too but its complicated to explain why i use windows for now (but ill switich soon)
like im totally a FOSS enthusiast but like…
AHHHH “Has ptsd flashbacks from having to use Cygwin on a mixed build environment for a popular MMO that’s about some kind of war up in the stars…” lol NOT THE CYGDRIVE lol jk but it did take me back ~5 years.
i try to understand that…
Best option is still Git Bash 🙃
most true :3
Can Cygwin run Linux GUI programs effectively? What about GPU-bound workloads? Would happily switch if the answer to both of those is yes.
You can run GUI apps but I’m not sure about GPU workloads. Wouldn’t bare metal be the best for that?
Wouldn’t bare metal be the best for that?
Technically yes, but WSL2 is remarkably close to optimal in terms of throughput. Unlike WSL1 (a type 2 hypervisor), WSL2 requires Hyper-V (a type 1 hypervisor), meaning Windows also runs as a VM once it’s enabled. The Linux vGPU driver still needs to go through the Windows Nvidia driver as far as I know, but that is seldom the bottleneck for CUDA applications.
true it uses a Microsoft Hypervisor Virtual Machine
i dont mind the GUI… but is Cygwin open source? just knowing
Yep, that’s what I use as well… in Windows I mean.
thanks
while :; do date; sleep 1; done
watch -n1 date
none
thanks this is more like c syntax tho its bash im learning c btw :3
it’s posix shell, also it produces an output similar to your post unlike watch, which everyone is rushing to point out as if it were the ultimate superninja haxxor secret tool that nobody knows about :DDD
