I like that you actually can ls in power shell now
Yes, yes you can.
Also, WSL and windows terminal go a very long way in making windows actually usable...
"Usable" is a strong statement... It went from a "misery inducing insufferable machine" to a "extremely big annoyance". I do concede it is anyway a progress

Just add Winget with an UI to have a proper package manager and we're in
Package manager with a UI? I like my apt and dnf thank you very much.
You can still use winget by itself from the command line! The UI is just there for convenience and automation
The UI is just there for ... automation
Wut?
I've never gone to a UI when I want to automate something, a sane CLI is much more predictable and consistent.

As long as you don't have ls aliased to ls -la in your brain...
Yeah but tbh i really despise powershells syntax. But i'm happy it is pretty powerful.
i’m often amazed at microsoft’s ability to take a useful product and make it agonizing to use
Unfortunately, bash syntax isnt amazing either
But Powershell is worse

Bash came out decades ago and powershell is brand new. It doesn't really have an excuse to suck.

PowerShell 7 is pretty sweet ngl
I really want to love the "everything is an object" of power shell but I just have zero uses for using a shell on windows. Granted, my windows usage is like 15 minutes a week most of the time, but still. I also can't be bothered to use it for work because it's exclusively Linux/linux-ish over there so it's not worth bothering.
Either way, I like the idea, can't really justify figuring out the details.

If you can suppress 30 years of " -al" from following his buddy.
That's actually "-la", pal.

Add ls.bat in your windows directory with dir as the source. It basically acts as an alias.
Still won’t help me when I type ifconfig or dig, though.
Also I’ve noticed there is also a curl in Windows CLI that I believe is based on libcurl, but when called from powershell is an alias for (iirc) Invoke-WebRequest.
ifconfig doesn't even work in a lot of Linux distros anymore.

echo @dir %1 %2 %3>%windir%\system32\ls.bat
Something like that should fix the problem, I think...

Thank Microsoft for PowerShell
Cmd? What century is this? Use powershell
I’m gonna take it a step further and say to use the new Terminal app from the winapp store which lets you integrate ALL command lines into one app and it looks snazzy to boot!
Check it out mother fuckers!

It'll always be "Bad command or file name" to me.
Yes but it can do "cd.."
