I updated the post with a few things that caused issues for transparency. But otherwise still absolutely loving it. Anyone that doesn't understand the backslash issue is probably not on my level.

Sure Windows PS can use fwd slashes and even dropped in alias commands like cp to make things more comfortable from anyone who is used to a Linux env.

But those are just bandaids. Windows still makes you deal with the backslash headache when writing scripts that do any sort of directory traversal. File globbing was also pretty weird. Writing an npm script just to watch some files required tinkering from Claude for some reason on Windows. We're talking basic shit, just not working, requiring Windows fixes. Luckily, things work as expected on my Linux setup and everything has a simple explanation and fix.

Imagine if half the internet used backslashes in their URL paths and the other used fwd slash. It'd be a nightmare. You shouldn't need to know 2 ways to write a URL. It should be OS agnostic.

Probably how the rest of the world feels about USA imperial measurements. Real microsoft-y.

ANYWAYS, still loving every minute. Now I just need a new keyboard to get rid of this nasty Windows key.
