Arizona doesn't do daylight savings, while the Navajo Nation (surrounded by AZ) does, and so does Utah to the North.

I would rather see the planet stop using time-zones altogether. Let's all go UTC, adjust our clocks and schedules once and be done with it.
It doesn't matter what number my clock says at noon/sunrise/sunset. If it is about working-hours coinciding with daylight, businesses can adjust their working hours as needed (and post them on their site without you having to convert to local time to know when you can call)
edit: the link below just changed my mind. dammit, I hate being wrong.

Performance is MUCH better with Cygwin than WSL. Running Xfce on WSL is barely usable. Cygwin supports more than just Win10, too. The Swan installation does not require admin privileges, which is handy for work installations.

This is a new project to provide a linux-like desktop for developers forced to use Windows at work, and for Windows users to experiment with a linux-like environment.
