I’ve been using Sage for many years mainly on Windows. First with the Virtual box. This had many disadvantages. On the one hand the VirtualBox was error-prone and often did not work as expected. It also eats up a lot of memory and especially that worksheets are not stored directly on the host system proved to be a disadvantage. I had no joy with it. My experience changed dramatically when the SageMath binaries appeared in the Windows installable form. I never had a problem again, didn’t have to worry about other software and its quirks. And I had my Yupyter notebooks where I can search for them, in my Windows explorer. Regarding performance: in my applications I have never experienced a situation where I assumed to have any advantage if I used a Linux system. For my work it fits perfectly into Windows. I don’t feel the slightest need to interpose another layer again, whatever type it is. For someone who doesn’t care if Cygwin is "ugh-worthy" or "ohh-worthy" some remarks made in this thread do not reflect the experience of a normal Windows user. I am aware that this is only because of extraordinary skills and efforts by E. M. Bray and I would like to express my appreciation for it.
