Is there anything for Windows?

Your best bet on Windows is to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This lets you install a Linux distro's userland on top of the NT kernel. If you install vcxsrv (available in chocolatey) then you can also run graphical applications.

That said, FreeBSD also runs very well under Hyper-V, so if you have enough RAM then you may find that a better option. In my experience, compilers that spawn a new process for every file (e.g. gcc, clang) are noticeably faster in a FreeBSD VM on Windows than in WSL or native in Windows (and a *lot* faster than their cygwin versions).
