Microsoft’s Coreutils finally gave Windows the eight commands I was using Linux for

This last week, I replaced WSL with Microsoft’s Coreutils for my daily work. This meant natively running commands like ls, grep, find, cat, and the rest on Windows; the same commands I use on Linux. However, I wasn’t just interested in whether they functioned, but whether they could replace a full Linux subsystem for file management, log filtering, and small scripts. It turns out I was able to do a lot without having to leave my Windows terminal.
