@JoshuaKGoldberg Try integrating WSL with Hyper.

@abhijithvijayan I haven't touched WSL in months and don't want to. That's a lot of overhead to be able to run an Electronic app. Is a *nix environment a requirement for Hyper?

Also, what does "integrating" mean here? Could you be a little more informative please?

@JoshuaKGoldberg
Setup Hyper.js to automatically open Ubuntu on Windows

Open up Hyper.js configuration by typing Ctrl + ,
Scroll down to shell and change it to C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe

// the shell to run when spawning a new session (i.e. /usr/local/bin/fish)
    // if left empty, your system's login shell will be used by default
    //
    // Windows
    // - Make sure to use a full path if the binary name doesn't work
    // - Remove `--login` in shellArgs
    //
    // Bash on Windows
    // - Example: `C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe`
    //
    // PowerShell on Windows
    // - Example: `C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe`
    shell: 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe',

This will only work if you installed linux via WSL, I use hyper use my linux shell like this.
Hope it helps.

Cool, thanks. This issue was meant as a bug report, so I'll rename it to be asking about how to use WSL and file a new issue for the case of not using WSL.
