  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    What is the difference of Terminal to say cmd or PowerShell?

    ~~Edit: seems to be the same thing as cmd. I usually access it with Win+R or search for cmd in start.~~

    Another edit: My work machine is Win10. There is no Terminal on my system it seems. If I search for Terminal in Start, cmd shows as the only option.

    To your edit, it isn't the same thing as cmd. It's more like konsole or kitty or gnome-terminal. It is a terminal container that can run cmd or powershell or bash for you.

    It has other features that are nice, and that more useful systems have had since the 90s. If you're stuck on windows, it's to putty what ie used to be for netscape. You can use it to download putty, or use it and only be mildly irritated on someone else's system.

    Win+x, a, left, enter. Admin power shell in a quick combo.

    But I also get what you are saying. I'm leaving windows because of this. Migrating my services ATM then the last thing will be my win10 desktop.

    Is Terminal even a Windows app or alias for cmd.exe/PowerShell? I know the joke is how bad the start "menu" is, but maybe they could've searched for a real app?

    I'm not a Windows user, I'm asking genuinely.
