Just a suggestion #11

I actually already have most of these tools installed, so I'm not using WinMac personally, but I have friends that are and it's really sweet.

Just thought I'd offer a friendly suggestion: To give the user a more 'unix-like / linux experience', you might offer to install WSL as part of the Terminal customizations. It is, after all -- at least WSL v1 -- a terminal-hosted feature (mostly).

Hello,

Thanks for kind words, but the reason I don't want to implement WSL is it's because it enforces running two OSes at the same time, consuming a lot of memory/cpu, and it makes interacting with Windows quite limited, hence I don't want to design WinMac in a way, that any of its component would be dependent on it. It also depends on virtualization being possible/enabled on specific pc, and that creates another hoops to jump through, I'd need to spend a lot ot time fixing.

WSL is great and definitely something I can recommend for sure, but I want to close WinMac experience within Windows as much as possible.
