      I’m gonna take it a step further and say to use the new Terminal app from the winapp store which lets you integrate ALL command lines into one app and it looks snazzy to boot!

      Check it out mother fuckers!

            Maybe something is wrong with your pc. It takes me about 5 seconds. Or you are just very impatient.

              5 seconds is way too long when all I need to do is run small utility in batch.

        Yeah powershell is better 95% of the time. But that other 5% of the time you have to go back to CMD and redo what you were attempting. So the work done in powershell is a waste of time 5% of the time, and you still will need to know CMD to be able make everything work.

        So Powershell is better in theory, but in actual practice I tend to do things in CMD because I know it will work.

          I really like PowerShell’s object-oriented approach to pipelines. Unix pipes feel really dated in comparison.

        You can just press Win key and type whatever to search and enter to open. WIN Term Enter, and there’s your Windows Terminal.
