I like that you actually can ls in power shell now

[-] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 61 points 1 year ago

Yes, yes you can.

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

[-] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

"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 1 year ago

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

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 7 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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.

PowerShell 7 is pretty sweet ngl

[-] UndefinedIsNotAFunction@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] ox0r@jlai.lu 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ______@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

But Powershell is worse

[-] ______@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I've said this before and got grilled for it but I wish there was a shell scripting language that doesn't have arcane syntax.

Bash came out decades ago and powershell is brand new. It doesn't really have an excuse to suck.

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

[-] Ew0@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's actually "-la", pal.

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

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

mkdir is literally a DOS command homie.

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

It was a Unix command first

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

[-] jasondj@ttrpg.network 23 points 1 year ago

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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!
