WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux. You can run one of several distros under 
WSL2. Under Windows 11, it'll apparently run X apps, too.

Cygwin and/or git BASH seem to provide a pretty good command-line 
environment, at least from what the developers I work with say. They don't 
seem to be in a huge hurry to move to WSL. If you're writing code locally 
and pushing it up to a dev environment, they should work just fine. If 
you're wanting to test locally, that's a different matter and WSL would be 
ideal, I'd think.
