minus-squareAnti-AntidotelinkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoHey now, as someone who works in a 100% Microsoft shop, WSL2 and the Windows Terminal are the only things keeping me sane. Please MS, keep pandering.
minus-square@CupDock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoI second this. WSL and windows terminal are both part of my daily toolbox and I love them both dearly.
minus-square@entropicshart@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•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@zeppo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•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@entropicshart@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•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.
