  I consider myself a trans ally, but I’m struggling to keep up with the latest pronouns. Congrats!

    I identify as Linux and my pronouns are root/+u.

    The funny thing is there are lots of things that are designed better on Linux vs Windows/macos too.

    My memory is fading on some of them since I primarily use Windows for work and a steam deck for gaming now, but keyboard shortcuts was definitely one of them. Easier to get shit done automation-wise from simple scripts. CMD is so basic and PowerShell feels like my fingers are exhausted from doing a simple thing, and like you always need to write a paragraph to get a simple thing done.

      Afaik from my limited interaction with bash: At least you have proper datatypes.
      Isnt bash essentially treating everything like a string and it’s up to you to resolve that?

        Pretty much, though I use a lot of jq these days and many tools support json output and input. I’d love to see that paradigm expanded for more Unix tools. Maybe a new kind of pipe symbol for shells that implies strict json objects.

      Yeah, command lines just feel native on Linux, where in Windows it feels like it’s running off behind the scenes to fetch a grown up.
