- dgfitz 1y agoPowershell doesn’t “focus on windows admin” any more than bash focuses on linux admin. What do you mean?
- d4mi3n 1y agoIt’s available in other OSs now, but my exposure to it has mainly been windows server and endpoint environments. YMMV, I’m mainly speaking from my own experience/history with powershell. For a long time it was the only way I knew of to manage various aspects of low level windows OS settings.
- dgfitz 1y agoGotcha. Speaking as someone who isn’t a fan of windows after about windows 2000, powershell is quite powerful, if not a touch verbose. Worth reading up on if you have a need to use it on any kind of cadence.
- GuB-42 1y agoBash is my primary entry point for using Linux. Bash is also used by admins. Using Windows is mostly GUI first, and traditional (DOS) command line second. Powershell is mostly used by admins.
- dgfitz 1y agoOh gotcha. We have very different experiences with powershell.
- nailer 1y agoI wish nushell and pwsh got together. Structured data shells are great, scraping is brittle, but they’re both trying to do the same thing and people should be able to compile native cmdlet type things using whatever language they like. Both projects, although great, have failed independently to create a popular structured data shell. Together they could actually do it.
