Installing Linux is still a LOT easier than installing a working MSYS
since you get proper package management with proper dependency
resolution, while with MSYS, you end up downloading dozens of different
inter-dependent GNU packages one-by-one until anything works. At least
that's what it looked like a couple of months ago.

Granted, cygwin has a nice installer.
