    You still don't get it, and based on your personality you likely never will

    > But, the thing is, I'm not "guessing" you don't know it well enough. I'm inferring it clearly from how you described it in the text. Because it reminds me exactly of how I used t…

    Computer languages are not comparable to human languages; your argument is a misplaced simile

    You're incorrect. I know bash and the syntax is not user friendly for me. You only had a response to the powershell part?

    No, im referring to your original comment calling me a "typical noob". It was an immature comment which contributes nothing, and again I think youre capable of more maturity than t…

    Again, try to remain polite. I understand how forking works. Knowing how shebangs work is not something they teach directly. Forking is.

    Its not as popular to distribute projects as source on windows, but ive personally built a dozen or so libs and dependencies from cmake into msbuild/visual studio SLN files, so it …

    I wrote it after reading several articles on Microsoft's docs page which are all stories of developers moving from Mac to Windows. All of those stories boiled down to: "WSL makes i…

    Okay? Are we still talking about preferred shells or are we talking about chinese

    Git exists on windows without git bash. Just run `choco install git` and i recommend `choco install poshgit` too for some helpful terminal hints like current branch

    The PATH variable in windows has a low character limit but if your path is properly set up as a REG_EXPAND_SZ, then you can just add more and more variables to it and I dont think …

    I often run into the issue of forgetting to set node affinity in my deployments and my x86 backend not running on an ARM server we have for some reason (nothing we do requires ARM,…

    OS class is not about Linux, its about OS theory. You learn the algorithms for priority queues and preempting tasks and even build a simple OS (depending on the class). Very little…

    This isn't really an argument against what I said. You can pick and choose your shell language based on preference for syntax. You generally learn a human language because you have…

    I'm disappointed that 90% of the discussion is on the first 3 paragraphs of the article. I wrote about C++ and DirectX, too.

    I think you misread. I dont prefer WSL2, I rarely use it directly. I prefer powershell

    I personally disagree on both accounts. Bash is gibberish to me and the year I had to dev python professionally was miserable

    The point is not about being easy to remember (powershell commands and their args can be autocompleted with tab so memorizing them isn't really important). It's about powershell be…

    I think the long form is because people usually tab to complete the names. Personally once you learn them they dont get that hard to type
