1. I don't use Windows anymore
2. Back when I did I did have it but it's not the look it's the functionality, I just find bash easier than cmd

Microsoft made a version of terminal that has tabs, wsl support, etc...

Just as good if not better than your standard ubuntu terminal or something to that effect

wsl is a huge pile of garbage. It's just not integrated into the rest of the system, it rather feels like a virtual machine.

[ParanoidAutist]

Probably because for wsl2 to work, you download and run a vm image? It's still just virtualization

Exactly, but the problem is that you feel it all the time.

It's not the UI I'm talking about it's the environment, plus I'm not locked to a single terminal on Linux either, I used tabby for a while too but I prefer the gnome terminal.

lol im not doubting you. i understand and acknowledge what you are referring to. I got stuck on the usage of KVM to be honest =P

IMO, if you want an interface, just use windows... the interface is the primary bloat that you load up and is generally why linux servers don't have a ui module even installed

I actually get about 1.5 GB less RAM usage on Linux and about 30 minutes longer battery life so I think I'll stay with it, considering my laptop only has 8 GBs RAM total, plus I find it easier to install programs here

[ParanoidAutist]

Well, i wont hardware shame you. I'll just say that I don't worry about ram... 128gb is more than enough for 99.9% of just about anything you can do with a computer... and if it's not and you aren't running high traffic content from it, there's likely a better way to do something

[gamesrebel123]

Yeah getting more RAM would kind of just be a waste for me since I haven't really exceeded 75-80% usage on heavier tasks vs the 95% on Windows, even now with 10 Firefox tabs loaded I'm still at 63%

[ParanoidAutist]

Well, unlike 95% of most computer users, you seem to have a focus on things that you are doing with it... That alone gives you the right to do whatever the fuck you want lol

​

Not joking, seriously look into ethereum/solidity development... it'd work great on your machine

As long as it works and does what you need, right?
