It's not though. I'm starting to like it desu, even without WSL it's a least solid.

My friend that uses windows wanted help setting up a router because he always sees me using a terminal on linux
I wanted to kill myself after finally managing to figure it out. It's just so... uncomfortable. No wonder I had a phobia of terminals when I first came to linux

I use it with busybox-w32, it really shows that all cmd.exe needs is something like the GNU coreutils.
Joseph Turner
What's wrong with cmd.exe? Way faster than PS.
Anthony Sullivan
Care to share what you use the most from coreutils?
Xavier Butler
That's the only decent part of Windows.
Charles Wood
so you are saying windows is horrible?
Nolan King
why are you shit in every single aspect?

It's hheavily influenced by MS-DOS, whuch in turn was influenced by MS BASIC.
Bash + GNU are still good today, because their ancestors, Bourne shell + UNIX were proffessional tools made for and by scientist to use on (for the time) very powerful computers. Microsoft made tools for hobbyists and later businessmen, and their underpowered 6502s aand later 8086s. Most of those only ever used the shell/command prompt for launching software from a floppy, so there was no reason for it to capable of much more.
David Gomez
Well, it is.
Jeremiah Green
The PDP-11 was by no means powerful for its time. The 8086 was more powerful from the outset, and the 80286 much more so.
Parker Cook
it has a great typeface
Nathan Foster
I guess MS are just prioritizing their window manager.
Zachary Mitchell
The 6502 would have absolutely shit all over your (for the time) very powerful computers.
Just saying.

My version was similar, but to type some huge log file - dism.log is a good choice.
Carson Phillips
Just use cygwin bro
Alexander Hughes
Cygwin is slower than a wet weekend. It also really prefers to have a Unix-like filesystem structure for a decent environment/experience.
Joshua Jones
You can't compare the PDP-11 with the 6502 and 8086 without accounting for the decade between them. Remember this was the 70s. Back then, 10 years of progress meant more than a few pluses added to your processor technology node.
A better, but still not perfect comparison would be the Altair 8800 (and its intel 8080) which had only about half a decade advantage over the PDP-11.

Why not? You're doing an apples-to-apples comparison of the software - suddenly it's wrong to apples-to-apples the hardware?

Is a replacement for conhost - not cmd, bash or PS.
Dominic Lee
potato potato
Jose Wood
More like cmd.exe PS.
Ryder Gutierrez
They made cmd and COM from dos experience
they made Powershell from Linux/Unix experience, give it a whirl, it's very rich but you might find it's a little different until you realize you are piping and handling C# objects and not bitstreams.
Ayden Price
The point being that there's literally no reason that 8086-based computers couldn't have just run Unix from the outset.
Camden Peterson
because nobody uses it
Brody Baker
That still doesn't mean that the PDP-11 was powerful for its time. There's a ton of comments in early Unix commentary of how deeply aware Thompson and Ritchie were of the deep limitations of the hardware. Unix was very explicitly design to be a lean system, and there's zero reason why early microcomputer software couldn't have been as good.
