Its better then ever.
1. Use Chocolatey (winget is still new). You can setup everything via it, and I mean everything - node, postgre, docker, vscode, all browsers, selenium and drivers etc.
2. Learn Powershell, but learn it really good. Adopt PowerShell build system Invoke-Build
3. Install better terminal - ConEmu or Windows terminal
4. Enrich Windows using FOSS and cross platform tools: choco install copyq, flameshot, less, fzf, paint.net, git, tortoisegit, winscp, kitty, screentogif, sysinternals, wiztree, gsudo, lockhunter, signal, viber, slack
5. Disable Windows Defender and use some debloater (controversial, but I do it, and system is at least x2-x5 faster). I use https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 along with ShutUp10 tool.
6. Install the best search engine in the world: cinst everything
Enjoy, its awesome.
- noisem4ker 5y agoAddendum to 2: use PowerShell 7, a newer major version than the one probably coming as default, and based on the modern Core lineage. You get niceties and the sanity you'd expect such as UTF-8 when writing to files with the > operator.
- majkinetor 5y agoIndeed: cinst pwsh Also set it as default in terminal/conemu.
- majkinetor 5y agoBTW, here is my profile.d for PowerShell: https://github.com/majkinetor/powershell_profile.d https://github.com/majkinetor/powershell_profile.d
- Jaruzel 5y ago> Disable Windows Defender And use what instead? Defender is pretty good at keeping you safe, so you definitely need a replacement.
- majkinetor 5y agoNo you don't. You are IT engineer, not a grandma (I guess).
- Jaruzel 5y agoI could be both... ;)
- majkinetor 5y agoIn theory :)
