for real though, modern linux distros will rarely require you to enter a command line, and if you do, a quick internet search can usually help you find out what you need to enter

        Because PowerShell is better than a traditional terminal because it doesn't keep all the legacy crap from like the 1970s physical terminals lol. It's basically a programming environment with actual data types but in a terminal syntax flavor, instead of this insane string concatenation/parsing/piping machine. It's main problem (having used it a tiny bit but not a crazy amount) is that it doesn't have powerful enough commands, has a terrible paginator (it's worse than the "more" command), and that Windows in general sucks.

          Yeah it didn’t keep all that 1970’s crap, just all that 1990’s crap. “Terminal, but object-oriented” is nonsense language invented by crazy people and I will not stand for it. No I am not bitter from dealing with the Office API why do you ask?

              Undocumented enums. Senseless abstraction boundaries. Documentation is often out of sync. Permissions are implicit or buried in docs. I could go on

                Documentation is for losers and nerds 😎

                All my homies inspect the source code to figure out how to use functions 😎👍(except when it's Office and it's closed source)

      PowerShell is also that terrible bright blue color and some absolutely garbage tab completion.
