I love WezTerm! Recently switched from iTerm2 and programmed the hell out of it: https://rashil2000.me/blogs/tune-wezterm.

It has a very extensive Lua API.

That's pretty nice! Thanks for the tip, I applied it to my config as well.

Sorry, I ran out of the free Blob Storage transfer quota, should be fixed now

Shhh, Apple is completely allowed to do such things. In fact it is a lifesaver and a UX upgrade /s.

Essentially. They're in no way forcing you to give away credit card info. Even the title is editorialized in a way to incite hatred against something that's already present in a competing OS. Isn't there an HN policy against such titles?

Lol why is this downvoted so much? Do people get salty just at the mention of comparison with Apple?

You can use http://qttabbar.wikidot.com for native tabs and loads of other useful features. Even works on Windows 11.

There are so many (and so simple) workarounds that it almost feels intentional. My favourite one is typing "a@a.com" as email, literally anything as password, and this will throw an error and viola, prompt you to create a local account. Been using this in the latest Windows 11 Dev builds, no MSA required. Even Microsoft Store works without MSA!

No, Git Bash is a custom, stripped-down version of MSYS2 (with MinGW Git and its dependencies installed). It does not include pacman.

If you want to use pacman you can either use Git Windows SDK, or just plain MSYS2.

Scoop for the most part just extracts the archive/installer. Whether the application is portable is ultimately decided by that installer.

That said, we do highly prefer portable versions of applications, due to the portable nature of Scoop itself.

Why would they accept a backslash? Backslash is a path separator on Windows. In most Windows programs, you don't even need to escape the space - arguments can contain spaces and it will understand it, like `notepad My file.txt`

The escape character on PowerShell is backtick, and on cmd it is caret. You don't need to quote everything.

You're right, my bad

You can install SystemD-enabled WSL instances with distrod[0], and they have future plans to allow dual-booted physical Linux distro on a separate disk to run as a WSL instance.

For PowerShell, the command is:

  h -c 10

Thankfully, the author of Yori[0] shell has made a modern port of EDIT called, well, Yedit[1].

Oh, I apologize! I was under the impression that your executable would work without the /usr/bin/script workaround. My bad! I was aware of the Cygwin's tmux quirk, but not the script workaround. Thanks again for the detailed help!

Wow, I'd been dying to make tmux work on WT. I couldn't get your tmux.exe executable to work (it froze WT, in both bash and cmd). However, the script method works!

Although there's no mosh-server, some people actually ported the mosh-client[1] to Windows using C#. This client is currently being used in the popular Fluent Terminal for Windows[2].

I've had more success with a similar tool, called ocra [1]

`<filename>` from Windows, or `explorer.exe <filename>` from WSL. As simple as that.

I'm sorry, I might have been misinterpreting, could I you explain what you mean by actual characters? Even VSCode's minimap draws some shapes, but they're too small to discern any characters.

You can already do that inside regular (neo)vim, using https://github.com/wfxr/code-minimap

I use LineageOS+microG and practically all apps not made by Google (WhatsApp, Spotify, PayTM) work as they should. Even for some Google apps, there are good alternatives like YouTube Vanced etc.

I have used the popular open source NDS emulator - Citra, and it runs like 15 times faster on Windows compared to Ubuntu (NVidia GPU).

gdu added that feature just a couple of releases ago.

There's a pure PowerShell version[0] of this, for Windows, called winfetch. The repository also has a batch alternative for systems not supporting PowerShell.

It's not like anyone absolutely needs it, I was just fascinated by the recent surge in faster and more cross-platform utilities.

Love seeing these modern alternatives to coreutils! Ripgrep, fd, hyperfine, bat, exa, bottom, gdu, wc, sd, hexyl...

Yet to find a GNU 'tr' alternative though
