  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. (vlemmy.net)

    Hey now, as someone who works in a 100% Microsoft shop, WSL2 and the Windows Terminal are the only things keeping me sane. Please MS, keep pandering.

    Absolutely love the new Terminal app - anyone having to work on windows machines knows much value it finally adds over the ancient cmd/pwshell.

    This is one of the core apps I install on any windows rig now

    Being very familiar with bash/zsh etc, and somewhat forced to use Windows, I've tried to learn use PowerShell. My impression is basically, what? Why would I do this? The design is intriguing but the verbosity is awful.

    It is not meant just for powershell; it combines all the shells on windows plus support of fit, bash/zsh in WSL.

    I use Linux daily for development and a MacBook for a laptop; having to go from extensive terminals back to shitty blue windows was painful.

    The new Terminal has been the best addition MS has added to windows in a long while.

    Sure, I gather that the topic is something other than regular PowerShell. This is actually the first I've heard of it. I'll check it out, thanks!

    I hate the Windows environment so much. I was given the green light to switch to Linux although I have to do it myself.

    [–] CupDock 4 points 1 year ago

    I second this. WSL and windows terminal are both part of my daily toolbox and I love them both dearly.
