I am pretty sure it won't work 100% like sudo on Unix-likes, so why didn't they come up with different name, like
elevate? This command beingsudowill only confuse users.I think they want to compete with GNU/Linux and attract its users. They made WSL for probably the same reason. They even have a terminal now that almost doesn't suck.
Except it does..... (Its really slow and clunky)
Windows terminal is now my preferred terminal. I use it on a daily basis at work, and adding in WSL just makes things easier in general for Windows. My google search history is no longer Powershell eqicalent for X in linux.
Well I'm glad it works for you. Also I don't think it runs under wine so you are stuck on Windows.
Yeah, when I used it, every command had like a second of delay. It was also buggy. But it has tabs and you can even split the window into multiple panes. So big improvement over cmd.
How long ago did you try it? I gave the first iteration of wsl a chance and had the same experience, it was super slow especially for things like ls. Its a lot better since wsl2. Probably 90% or more the performance of bare metal install of linux
I used it last year on Windows 10 (I was forced to use Windows by my employer). I didn't use it with WSL, just with Git Bash.
Also forced to use windows for work. That wasn't the windows terminal program being slow, that was git bash.
Ah, interesting. I didn't realise that it was slow.
wsl is good for when ure forced to use windows
When searching commands now Windows garbage comes up
So it's more to poison search results to stifle Linux adoption
That's probably why they named the Xbox One the Xbox One all those years ago. Whenever people googled how to mod an Xbox One to play pirated games, they would keep finding original Xbox crap instead since everyone up until that point called it "Xbox 1".
In typical Microsoft nonsensical naming schemes, they had nowhere to go after Xbox 360.
I gave up on paying attention to Xboxes when they started calling them such stupid fucking shit like "Xbox x series sx". Now you have to be really familiar with Xbox lore to even figure out what the latest current one is.
I pre-emptively stopped when I switched to PC gaming in like 1996 lol
They didn’t want to say xbox 2 because it was less than PS3
But Nintendo had no problems with jumping to 64
This is the real reason, they were afraid consumers would think "3 is bigger than 2 so the Sony one must be better".
I think Nintendo gets a pass because they never used numbers anyway: NES -> SNES -> 64 -> gamecube -> wii -> switch. The 64 of course was about the hardware technology and not the generation or anything.
would you like to seach Edge™ with our Microsoft AI™?
Whenever a windows user Google's how to do something with it the Linux thing will show up. Microsoft might need to rethink this
Just block all search results related to linux in bing. There fixed.
cd c:\folder
ls Command not found
Every Fn Time , now they add sudo?
Ditch CMD and use PowerShell like a civilised person. ls is a valid built-in alias to Get-ChildItem. cd itself is an alias to Set-Location.
I just run Linux directly and skip windows for almost everything.
