The CLI interface is literally just GNU BASH, people need to understand Apple steals everything slaps a fresh coat of paint on it and boasts how innovative they are.

~full disclosure; I'm super jealous andhave always wanted a Mac Pro or Macbook Pro~

Actually its zsh but yeah nothing special.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Unfun fact: it switched from bash to zsh because Apple was butthurt and paranoid about GPL v3. Fuckin' cowards.

It’s better than power shell or whatever crap is on windows. Even WSL had issues the last time a used it a few years ago. Mac is Unix which Windows will never be.

PowerShell is like the 1 good product Microsoft has made the las 10 years

[-] 257m@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

That is a dangerous opinion. In my mind, Microsoft has made zero good products.

The fact that Microsoft made it is what keeps me from using it as a daily driver. If it were an open source project I'd use it (on linux even) as my login shell in a heartbeat

The main problem is its different from the main POSIX style shells. Just makes it very confusing to use with its own proprietary functions and commands.
