Why do IT people need to editorialize and inform the reader that the author experienced completely unrelated and older computer systems in the 80s.
- incanus77 5y agoWhat systems are completely unrelated? DOS led to Windows, Linux led to Linux-like commands in FreeDOS. I appreciate the context and, from my point of view, credibility of the author to bring some history into the development of modern tools.
- unnouinceput 5y agoLinux-like commands are in Windows since like over 2 decades now. It's called CygWin, and I'm still using it everyday. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin
- accrual 5y agoProbably because the author is the founder of the FreeDOS project and wanted to provide some context for his motivation.
