I know the basics off by heart. Not the hardest command syntax to learn all things considered.

The most annoying would be the growing collection of "uber commands" which are much more of a pain in the ass - aws, systemctl, docker, kubectl, npm, cargo, etc. - the executable has potentially dozens of subcommands, each of which has dozens of parameters.

These "uber commands" tend to be much better since they are more explorable with --help explanations and readable flags.

Much better than the random jumble of characters you're expected to have memorised for awk, sed, find et al.

Powershell is horrible all right. What annoys me is they alias ls, dir and other common commands onto commands which don't act or behave in the same way at all. I just run bash or command prompt rather than deal with the bs of powershell.

I very much disagree, what are you referring to?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
