I like that you actually can ls in power shell now

[-] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 59 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 7 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 22 points 10 months ago

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

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ______@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either

[-] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago

But Powershell is worse

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

[-] ______@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

I hope I didn't come across as defending ps. PS sucks and whoever decided to have functions use capital case with dashes in between needs to have their brain scanned

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

[-] Ew0@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's actually "-la", pal.

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

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

mkdir is literally a DOS command homie.

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago

It was a Unix command first

Why are DOS commands always so verbose?

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

[-] jasondj@ttrpg.network 23 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

ifconfig doesn't even work in a lot of Linux distros anymore.

[-] jvisick@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

I came across this one just yesterday and while it was convenient at first, I immediately got frustrated when I went to add some parameters and discovered it wasn’t actually curl

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 10 months ago

Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell

[-] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months 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.
