  • Windows Terminal

    The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

    • "Users of Linux and macOS may well be familiar with the sudo command, used regularly in the terminal, and it looks like Windows may finally be getting its own version."

    More Linux tools are coming to Windows, especially Windows Server because the tools are good and they make it easier to administer a Windows Server.

    They are looking at adding a default TUI text editor (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/discussions/16440) and now they are adding sudo.

    I would not be surprised if systemd or something like it gets ported or reinvented for Windows simply because it makes managing services so nice.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
