Quote: "and the fact that WSL continues to be separate from the native Windows environment shows. Even though I was quite hopeful, I cannot use WSL as my daily driver because I need to interact with “native” Windows tooling."
You do know CygWin exists, yes? Quite good and get this, exists from the moment Win95 came to existence.
- for_xyz 6y agoIt's possible to interact with native windows tooling from WSL. Example: $ echo "test" > test.txt & notepad.exe test.txt
- ChrisSD 6y agoThis is the first time in a long time I've heard anyone refer to cmd as a "good tool". It's a legacy from DOS. Not in the literal sense of course but in the sense of the builtins, syntax and the horrendous BAT. Mind you DOS had a lot of fans even in the late 90's/00's so of course it had its advocates. But they are much rarer nowadays.
