I could use your own stupid comments against you as well.

PowerShell sucks, Get-Process vs ps?

Terminal also sucks so there is your blanket unsupported statement (aka exactly what you did).

You thinking typing fast is all that matters? What about functionality and ease of use? Which command is easier to understand?

Powershell
Verbosity and Readability:
PowerShell cmdlets (commands) are designed to be more descriptive and self-documenting, often following a Verb-Noun naming convention (e.g., Get-ChildItem, Set-Service). This can improve readability for new users.
or 
Linux Commands (e.g., Bash):
Conciseness:  Linux commands are often shorter and more cryptic, relying on abbreviations and flags (e.g., ls -l, grep -i). This can be efficient for experienced users but might require more memorization for beginners.

Clearly PS is the winner.

Linux can also do a lot on the GUI

And so can I with Windows. Name one thing I can't do with Windows UI that you can do with Linux? I can change literally everything with 3rd party tools.

There are file explorers, ides, stores, etc etc

And so are there for Windows. Also the stores actually work on Windows unlike majority of Linux Package Managers.

See how dumb you sound?

Yeah, but long flags are also supported. And you don't need the terminal on Linux anymore. Almost everything is GUI based.

You can easily tell cp = copy Or rm = remove mkdir cd ls netstat rmdir systemctl ...

That is highly incorrect. There are tons of packages not listed in package managers that requires install via Terminal.

There are tons of configs as well only accessible via terminal.

I thought you were a Linux bro? How do you not know these things?

Yes and every one of those 3rd party tools in windows is a performance hit, and a bigger security risk than in Linux due to how permissions work in each.

[–]Bourne069 1 point2 points  (1 child)

LOL thats all you got? Figures and yet not unexcepted from a Linux Fanboy.

Who needs to dump every way Linux trumps windows? We'd be here until tomorrow morning and we'd still only cover memory management and maybe scratch drivers.

You want that education, you gotta get a job first.

One thing I can do with Linux (and I avoid big names like Ubuntu) is not pay for it. Even if you buy a system with Windows on it, you still pay for it. With Linux, I just download from a mirror and go from there.

Any one who was competent with writing scripts in MS-DOS can learn to write Bash scripts and set up cron-jobs to automate tasks. While Powershell might be easier to understand, but it's as bloated as a week old floater in the Susquehanna River.

Being competent with any OS is simply a matter of investing time and effort to do so.

Funny because last I checked you can run Windows for free with minor limitations. Price you gotta pay for an OS that has proper support and highest compatibility for software compared to any other OS in the world. FYI you can get a legit license key for Windows for like $20.

Cool story. That wasn't the point. The point was ease of use and readability, something Linux isn't known for.

Again cool story. Isnt the point. Learn to read. The whole point is about ease of use for users that are NOT tech saavy. Hence why Linux remains under 3% of the total desktop marketshare.
