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

Just learned today that in 1998, RedHat had a redneck language option (swipe for more images)
My favorite "funny commands" are probably sl(1) (potentially annoying) and this ehm... "magnificent app" (potentially useful)

- Does this count?
