The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
I’m honestly shocked no comment I’ve seen here has talked about ‘gnu on windows’ nor Windows Subsystem for Linux. I use both, because I prefer the windows environment but also like linux command lone.
- GOW - GNU Linux tools list like “ls” and “chown” ported to Windows
- Anyone else a fan of GOW for Windows?

how the fuck does this make any sense?
Use gow, and WindTerm; and if you want an even better experience install lsd, fd, and lf all of which are downloadable via Chocolatey, the Windows package manager

Limit image count number by deleting old image tags via FIFO-principle?
Ah, you're on Windows, so you don't have those utilities. Looks like these days, folks are using GoW (GNU on Windows) to install some useful GNU utilities on Windows machines: https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

The amount of times I have accidentally done this...
On my work system I have local admin but Windows Store is blocked by policy. One of my coworkers over on the DBA team had me install ConEmu which has some nice features similar to to Windows Terminal. Also, Posh-Git is a nice addition to have on top.

My Development Setup
Moving on to software, we have the Windows Terminal. I used ConEmu with Powershell until I found Windows Terminal easier to use. And after enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux on my PC, I use it with Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I replaced bash with Z shell, and with the plugin oh-my-zsh, it's easy to make command-line magic.
