Microsoft has made huge strides towards development on windows. WSL is amazing. I have yet to find a better window manager than windows, and I still get to use bash.
- hackerpoos 8y agoI don't need a window manager. Give me a single god damn command line that's consistent with the rest of the world. Not this ancient cmd.exe abomination which is completely incompatible with this powershell garbage which is completely incompatible with this half-baked wsl which is not cygwin or mingw or blah blah blah. Bash and posix with forward slashes as first class citizens please and take your dos garbage and shove it.
- saxonww 8y agoThis is unnecessarily harsh. You can install wsltty[0] and get a real bash prompt with posix and forward slashes if you want. WSL is not perfect, but it's good enough for a lot of use cases if you're stuck on Windows. [0]: https://github.com/mintty/wsltty https://github.com/mintty/wsltty
