intel has always been genuinely great on open standards and open source. look back to usb for a lot of really heavy lifting from intel, both in open specifications, hardware implementations released for free, and support for the linux implementation. and that was at a time where they were extremely dominant, and smaller competitors pushed weird proprietary stuff.

makes perfect sense if they're a hardware monopoly that doesn't want to divide a lucrative pie with a software monopoly

they even have a full distro, clear linux, which is actually pretty good? i found out about it when i was compiling a newer mesa for my chromebook like a year ago (and was surprised to find the iris driver was donated)

only thing preventing me from using it really was because i'm a baby that needs apt

yeah. i have never enjoyed using it but still think it is a real good take on this stuff. i can specifically imagine that it is extremely well suited to one of its purposes, being the platform for little commandline dsl's for like exchange and azure,

also it helps to have a fully posix-ish toolchain instead of visual studio

that is what I use Cygwin in path for

Mingw is better though if you want something redistributable, even if you need a ton of dlls if you're using Cairo or whatever

e: it's fun to run cmd and start typing in posix commands and running linux-native things

cygwin requires the same thing (external libraries) though? and cygwin sucks rear end compared to wsl?

i tried using winelib and winegcc too but i couldn't ever figure out how to get them to work properly

agreed on that last point though. that's why i tried busybox

oh yeah that's obviously alongside wsl/vms, cygwin's just for the windows command line bit

I didn't mean Cygwin is better, I meant Cygwin is worse for redistribution/as a compilation environment, might be talking a bit past each other

lol, use busybox as your cmd interpreter and just call gcc directly or just use wsl + mingw or some clangy equivalent

cygwin has a bunch of precompiled packages and it's quick and easy

YMMV that's just what I've been doing since before WSL became a public thing

again it's for messing about in windows using linux/posix utils, not as a compilation env, I do use WSL or VMs or docker for that


e: busybox is fine and all but it's a bit finnicky and doesn't integrate as well with windows FS, it's fine for compiling things I guess
