Or just install WSL?

What's the problem with Microsoft having an answer to this?

In what concerns Microsoft, I praise them for having acknowledged the strategy error that was not giving the UNIX subsystem the same love as Win32.

Because as proven by macOS and now WSL adoption, GNU/Linux would never have taken off if PCs already had a mature set of POSIX toys, given that its users care 0% about GNU/Linux, and would be deploying to HP-UX, Solaris, Aix, Irix, Tru64 just as well.
