Haven't tried this myself as I don't particularly like maven. It should be possible though

The use case I care about, and I imagine the use case Microsoft do as well, is developing for Linux on windows, so running an ide and not having to worry about a complicated cross compiling toolchain backing it.

The pandemic could explain this, a lot of people are now reluctant to use public transport at all.

Have you actually been on the underground lately? It's just about as busy as it ever was.

So how long until us poor fellows running enterprise windows see this?

I currently use vcxsrv which works mostly fine, but it's hard to convince other people to adopt the multitude of hacks I have to make this work, and supporting windows in builds is painful.
