You are probably confused by the powershell which seems to be available for multiple platforms nowadays, see https://aka.ms/pscore6 https://aka.ms/pscore6
- moron4hire 6y agoThere's also a window claiming to be Windows' CMD. As I can't figure out how to enter text in any of these windows (I'm assuming it's disabled, otherwise CHAOS) I can't tell if it's just a vestigial window of if it's a true output. The topics on the Github repo list both Linux and Windows. The Readme calls itself "aka Monotty Desktop". That makes me think they may have written the code for the Mono runtime, so I'm expecting it's C#. I had played around with a similar idea in C# some months back, though I was targeting only Windows because it took P-Invoking into some Win32 APIs to get most of the functionality.

- 7thaccount 6y agoYep, I'm in the same boat as you. Part of it just looked like Linux running Powershell, but CMD threw me off.
- moron4hire 6y agoWhen PowerShell runs on Linux, it doesn't show a "C:/" prompt. This is clearly running on Windows with WSL or Cygwin for the Unix tools.
- 7thaccount 6y agoMy first thought as well, but I didn't think you could not use the GUI in WIN10
- moron4hire 6y agoThere would be no need to kill the default desktop manager to run anything we've seen here.
