minus-square@entropicshartlinkEnglish6•1 year agoAbsolutely 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
minus-square@zeppolinkEnglish1•edit-21 year agoBeing 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.
minus-square@entropicshartlinkEnglish1•1 year agoIt 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.
minus-square@zeppolinkEnglish1•1 year agoSure, 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!
