Wow. I would have never known. For the last couple years, I have been running Windows every day on all of my computers. I used Debian Testing for many years before that, though- that's where I learned to code.
When I'm not using WSL2 (which is rare), it's almost always little CLI tools using Python, Rust, Nim, or C with MinGW. I'm a professional C programmer, I use Windows every day at home and at work, and I couldn't tell you how to use the Windows API to get command line args.
All I can say is that I'm all the more grateful for the MinGW people for letting me pretend this insanity isn't there.
