Wanted to know: what shell do you guys use on Windows, considering cmd.exe sucks and PowerShell doesn’t even pass the Doherty Threshold? I myself use Clink with *nix binaries and WSL for what is Linux-only.

git

I even create aliases with it.

Cmder with clink and oh-my-posh; I used to use Mingw and/or Cygwin, but since Git brings along a lot (if not all) of the same tools, I'm sticking with it.

@kamen You can also add exe in the bin directory for git to add more commands. I added wget this way.

y'all are using windows ?!!

>> insert funny face here <<

GitBash for anything basic, then a debian vm for actual work.

@ilechuks73 If your customers need solutions for Windows do you develop them on Mac? Or Linux? How do you test?

My boss hates Microsoft with a passion. But our customers demand specific solutions on Windows. Do we turn away that money? Some of us don't live in an idealistic dream land where some OSes are superior to others. The fact is they all serve a role based upon customer demand and preference.

@ilechuks73 I have W10 and Debian on two separate SSDs so I change OS according to need via grub (and you know which OS I like better)

@besnn TempleOS?

@Demolishun ofc wasn’t it obvious

@Demolishun I use git bash too since that’s the only gain !

What the he’ll is the Doherty threshold ?

Sounds like some Star Trek convention shit no one knows about unless they dress like Picard twice a year !

@YouAllSuck I think I heard it mentioned in Halt and Catch Fire idk but it stuck

I have actually added delays at the end of a progress bar to ensure the bar completely fills. I didn't want my users to feel like it didn't complete the operation.

I saw another article claiming it to be false and suggested numbers are made up. Then I found the paper. How retarded are people who write the trash articles?

@Demolishun you have all kinds on the internet

What the heck, someone just asked this a couple days ago.

To make cmd useful: Cygwin + gitbash

If I need a quick linux env: WSL + debian

Then anything major just run a VM.

@electrineer wasn't that "windows terminal" sucks because it loads Powershell and the guy didn't know how to use powershell.

Only wsl

Cygwin and WSL

cygwin64 most of the time
