Not much. You should check out Powershell instead for more comparable features to Bash.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Hack google.
You wouldn't know how to, though.
Only expert hackers do.
Hint: The first step is to get a cmd from Windows 98, Microsoft blocked the hack in newer versions.
Have fun!

You are missing the point.
Linux kids don't use the terminal because they want to but because they *have* to. Then they try to make a virtue of a necessity by telling you how "kewl" it is.
And you fell for it.

i could easily go out of my way to avoid using the command line for anything in linux,
it would be incredibly tedious, and i might as well just use windows instead.

a big reason i stopped using windows is because i dont want to use some random GUI based program for the simplest of tasks that can be done much faster with a simple command or two.

systeminfo command.

>>55509426
Windows cmd doesnt use bash dumbass.
