MSYS2
MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software. It consists of a command line terminal called mintty, bash, version control systems like git and subversion, tools like tar and awk and even build systems like autotools, all based on a modified version of Cygwin. Despite some of these central parts being based on Cygwin, the main focus of MSYS2 is to provide a build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts are kept at a minimum. MSYS2 provides up-to-date native builds for GCC, mingw-w64, CPython, CMake, Meson, OpenSSL, FFmpeg, Rust, Ruby, just to name a few. To provide easy installation of packages and a way to keep them updated it features a package management system called Pacman, which should be familiar to Arch Linux users.

Miele-LXIV
Miele-LXIV is a 64-bit DICOM viewer and workstation developed by Alex Bettarini. The macOS version, written in Objective-C and built with Xcode, is available as a free download. The Windows and Linux versions are complete rewrites in C++ using CMake and wxWidgets, currently featuring about 25% of the macOS functionality. The Windows version requires OpenGL (Core profile), and users can request a free evaluation version by contacting the developer. The Linux version, built with gcc, also necessitates OpenGL drivers (Core profile) and has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04 and Linux Mint 22.1. Miele-LXIV is a DICOM workstation, viewer and more. The project started in November 2014 as a fork of the popular open source 32-bit project OsiriX, but it has been modified to become a 64-bit application and to remove many of the limitations of the 32-bit version.
