  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.

        Not sure if you know of it, but I found this a while back and it helped me a lot: github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

    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.
