I like that you actually can ls in power shell now

[–] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 61 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes, yes you can.

Also, WSL and windows terminal go a very long way in making windows actually usable...

[–] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Usable" is a strong statement... It went from a "misery inducing insufferable machine" to a "extremely big annoyance". I do concede it is anyway a progress

Just add Winget with an UI to have a proper package manager and we're in

[–] DJArbz@lemmy.notmy.cloud 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Package manager with a UI? I like my apt and dnf thank you very much.

[–] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can still use winget by itself from the command line! The UI is just there for convenience and automation

[–] Kangie@lemmy.srcfiles.zip 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The UI is just there for ... automation

Wut?

I've never gone to a UI when I want to automate something, a sane CLI is much more predictable and consistent.

As long as you don't have ls aliased to ls -la in your brain...

PowerShell 7 is pretty sweet ngl

[–] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I really want to love the "everything is an object" of power shell but I just have zero uses for using a shell on windows. Granted, my windows usage is like 15 minutes a week most of the time, but still. I also can't be bothered to use it for work because it's exclusively Linux/linux-ish over there so it's not worth bothering.

Either way, I like the idea, can't really justify figuring out the details.

Yeah but tbh i really despise powershells syntax. But i'm happy it is pretty powerful.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

i’m often amazed at microsoft’s ability to take a useful product and make it agonizing to use

[–] ______@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago (4 children)

But Powershell is worse

If you can suppress 30 years of " -al" from following his buddy.

[–] Ew0@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

That's actually "-la", pal.

Also rm, cat, mkdir, cd, curl, what else

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (6 children)

mkdir is literally a DOS command homie.

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was a Unix command first

use powershell (specifically the core version!!!), or even better something like Nu shell

Add ls.bat in your windows directory with dir as the source. It basically acts as an alias.

[–] jasondj@ttrpg.network 23 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Still won’t help me when I type ifconfig or dig, though.

Also I’ve noticed there is also a curl in Windows CLI that I believe is based on libcurl, but when called from powershell is an alias for (iirc) Invoke-WebRequest.

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

ifconfig doesn't even work in a lot of Linux distros anymore.

echo @dir %1 %2 %3>%windir%\system32\ls.bat

Something like that should fix the problem, I think...

Thank Microsoft for PowerShell

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I’m gonna take it a step further and say to use the new Terminal app from the winapp store which lets you integrate ALL command lines into one app and it looks snazzy to boot!

Check it out mother fuckers!

It'll always be "Bad command or file name" to me.

[–] NotYourSocialWorker@feddit.nu 7 points 2 years ago

Yes but it can do "cd.."
