I like that you actually can ls in power shell now

[-] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 61 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 7 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

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

[-] ox0r@jlai.lu 23 points 2 years ago

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

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ______@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

But Powershell is worse

[-] ______@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] Ew0@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's actually "-la", pal.

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

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

mkdir is literally a DOS command homie.

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years 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!

It'll always be "Bad command or file name" to me.
