Yes, yes you can.
Also, WSL and windows terminal go a very long way in making windows actually usable...
Yeah but tbh i really despise powershells syntax. But i'm happy it is pretty powerful.
i’m often amazed at microsoft’s ability to take a useful product and make it agonizing to use
Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either
But Powershell is worse
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.
Fish? I like fish.
Also rm, cat, mkdir, cd, curl, what else
mkdir is literally a DOS command homie.
Isn't it md and mkdir is just an alias in Powershell to accommodate Linux users?

That's what I used, back when I still had MS-Windows installed...
feels good to say "it's been years", tho...

Dir?
what did you say? say that again to my face, I dare you.
I apologize. I didnt mean to offend anyone!
Why are DOS commands always so verbose?
Mir?
Mir nichts, dir nichts
Achso, schade, aber kann man nichts machen
Tja
Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell
My brain is still hardwired to do Win+R CMD Enter..
My brain is hardwired to win+X -> A lol
Memories we all share.
sfc/scannow
We all have been there and we all have been disappointed by it. Most of the time when I encounter a system with OS related problems I still run sfc but only for the logs and not in the hope that it dose anything useful by itself or the accompanying commands. After that it's most of the time OS refresh or full wipe depending on the problem and state of backups. Good thing SFC takes now days only a minute or less with M.2 NVME SSD.
use powershell (specifically the core version!!!), or even better something like Nu shell
In Linux?
Why use cmd in Linux?
Because Wine makes it possible ;)
Nah, mine was a joke on how Microsoft published Powershell on Linux and somehow thought that anyone was gonna use it.
Add ls.bat in your windows directory with dir as the source. It basically acts as an alias.
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.
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
Classic PoweShell experience. Try rm -rf - I wonder why they added the aliases in the first place. Only frustrating to type different arguments which are also more verbose. Tastes like the good ol' embrace-extend-extinguish.
