Cygwin allows Unix operations on Windows, useful for studying Unix.

For users familiar with Unix or in need of using its operations on their Windows system, switching from Windows to Unix installation was previously necessary. However, Cygwin offers a solution by providing a variety of tools that mimic Unix operations on Windows. The developers behind Cygwin aimed to create a platform where Unix applications could be compiled and run on Windows. What users ultimately received was a tool that enables the execution of Unix applications directly from the Windows environment. This tool can prove to be invaluable, particularly for individuals studying Unix or requiring Unix shell operations on Windows. It also allows users to run Unix-specific applications that may not be readily available on Windows. Overall, Cygwin serves as a versatile tool that is worth exploring for those seeking to bridge the gap between Unix and Windows operating systems.
