The world if Windows was POSIX compliant
And if need so much something like this, you can always use WSL or GOW (https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow)

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

If Fuchsia eventually makes its way into the desktop/laptop space, do you think it will support Linux-like commands for the terminal?
¹ Bash was ported natively, zsh runs through mingw quite well. ² https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow

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

Ask HN: What CLI Apps?
[Windows only]
I recently discovered Cmder:
https://cmder.app/
It's a portable console emulator and gives you the ability to "place your own executable files into the bin folder to be injected into your PATH" when it's run.
So far I've added:

Tabby is an infinitely customizable cross-platform terminal app
The multiple supported shells remind me a little bit of the Windows cmder app, which I recall being pretty decent: https://cmder.app/
But the cross platform aspect is really nice, even if in my experience using different terminal apps per platform hasn't been too big of an issue.
Maybe except for MobaXTerm feeling better than most Linux tabbed/split terminal offerings due to its usability and support for sending input to multiple remote sessions at the same time, SSH integration etc.: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ (something like Remmina is on par with mRemoteNG, so nice but not quite there)

need LSP in WSL to use python env from Windows
I've since found that dev workflows in Windows work pretty damn good now, actually. I hate PowerShell so I still don't use it, but I now use Nushell, Cmder, and Git-Bash as my shells within the native Windows terminal emulator and it's actually pretty damn good and very close to the Unix experience. I actually like the native Windows terminal more than Kitty and would switch to it on my Ubuntu machine and my work MacBook if it were available on these systems.
