    I’m sorry, I’m not really proficient with Linux. I probably used the wrong term. I meant where you type all the sudo commands and stuff. I’m more of a mouse user due to windows.

      Yes, they knew that, you described it fine. They were asking if Window’s equivalent, PowerShell or CMD is preferable. Though they fail to realize that most Windows users will never need to use either of those tools under normal operation, even if they could choose to use them to simplify some tasks. The terminal in Linux is encouraged, whereas equivalent(-ish) tools in Windows are optional and really only required for Sys Admins.

          Oh, I’m certainly not arguing with you. I have to use Windows for work and hate it. Been daily driving Linux for years on my own PC. I should find out if I can get WSL up and running on my work machine. I’ve been contenting myself with git bash thus far. PowerShell is at least better than CMD, but truthfully I’ve never really put the effort in to learn it properly since I very rarely need to do anything complicated on the command line in Windows.

              Funny thing just happened. Started working on a new project at work and in order to get properly set up I have to get WSL up and running. How convenient, and more than a little coincidental with the timing.
