 So, you know, in general, Windows is a horrible environment for everybody, but especially developers. Because there's nothing installed. They don't have Python installed. They don't have a C compiler installed. Really, back in the day, when I was a Windows user, and I was for many, many years, I got fairly efficient with batch scripts, batch files. And visual basic scripts, which, you know, weren't a full-featured, you know, it's not like visual basic programming design. Visual basic scripts were much more restricted. And even with those, there was very little you could do. So it's like anything you wanted to do, you had to install some of them using a lot of batch files, but having to install, you know, external little programs go with it, which we do a lot with our shell scripts, but really, I mean, Bash can do a lot. And at least on Linux, you're going to have those core tools. Those core GNU tools, you know, SED and OCK and WGET are going to be pretty much everywhere. I mean, if not, you have Busybox, which is a little binary there. So it's like our phone, your router has all these tools that 99% of what you need to do can be done with this one little one and a half megabyte file application. Windows had almost nothing. You know, you could echo stuff, you create directories, you know, but now they have PowerShell, which I've looked at, and I'm not a big fan of it, but it can do a lot more and it does make Windows systems a lot more usable. And I have a little limited experience with PowerShell scripts, you know, I've played with them, wrote some notes, because, yeah, I could get on a Windows machine, I can install Python, I could install Node.js, I can even install Busybox or Bash, but those aren't on there by default. So it's like, if I just want to have a script that I can, you know, or even sit down and type a couple commands. Sorry, getting messages on my phone. PowerShell is pretty much your only option to be able to do it, and it does do a lot. I dislike a lot of it. I guess a lot of commands can be shortened. Like when you learn about the commands, it's like they're really, really long. Like it's like typing out a sentence to do something. But I guess a lot of those commands could be shortened. But one of the issues I've had is the Windows machines I come into contact with mainly are going to be at work, which are running Windows 7 and they're never really updated. And I guess they're running an older version of PowerShell. So a lot of stuff I try to do, I need PowerShell 3, 4 or something, 3, not 3, 4, but 3 to use those commands. And technically at work, the machines have deep freeze on them, which is this BS program which is supposed to prevent you from making changes to the hard drive. Real quick note here, it's not that hard to make the changes even with deep freeze. But I'm not supposed to make changes to the computers. And for me to install PowerShell 3, which I could start the process of, but you have to reboot the computer to finish the install, which with deep freeze installed, obviously if I start it and restart the computer, deep freeze is going to undo everything I just started. So I can't upgrade to PowerShell 3 without some hackery, which I'm not going to get in trouble at work, so I'm not going to do that. But it's like, why does Windows still require, and again there's a lot of programs, at least back in the day with Windows you install and at the end they'll like, oh, reboot your computer and lots of times you don't and it works fine. But sometimes like for example the PowerShell, PowerShell upgrading just won't work until you restart the computer. And this is a Windows, this is a Microsoft application. This is made by Microsoft for Windows and it still requires a reboot. I mean we all know on a Linux machine, the only time you need to reboot is for kernel upgrades, which there's the case splice thing, which I've never used. But besides the kernel, you don't need to restart your computer, and like I said with case splice you still don't even need to do that, you can upgrade your kernel without restarting. The only other time that I do anything is like when I upgrade my Nvidia drivers, you have to at least exit out of your display and restart it and usually it's just easier to restart your computer, but there's not a requirement to do that. But there's no other time I can think of where you have to restart your computer. And again both those cases aren't needed, it's just quicker and easier just to restart your computer. And even then you upgrade your kernel, you don't need to restart right away. You can keep working it, it's like it will upgrade the kernel when you restart, but you can keep using your computer as is. So it's like, I mean I know why, because Microsoft is just horrible at designing software. But it's just, it's sad. And it's not even like it's third-party stuff that doesn't know how to properly use the Windows environment and they're creating software with installers that require you to restart the computer, but it's Microsoft themselves making tools that are built into Windows nowadays that it comes with that when you upgrade it you've got to restart the operating system. And I know this just to a Windows user it sounds like I'm complaining, but it really is ridiculous. It was ridiculous 20 years ago, it was ridiculous 10 years ago, it's ridiculous now. And it might just seem like I'm complaining, but it's a real inconvenience. And especially if you're in production with like a server or something you don't have to restart your computer to install new software. It seems like a little thing to Windows users because they've become so used to it. And that's why I find with most Windows users is that there's all these annoyances but they've just become a customer and it's like, so what? Who cares? Who cares? That's just how it is. But it's not, it's not how it is. It's how it is on Windows with Microsoft stuff. It was also annoying and Windows still does this from my understanding is how it will do automatic updates and restart your computer without asking. Like you might get a pop-up that says, hey your computer is going to restart. Click this button if you don't want to and you click it and then 10 or 20 minutes later it does it again. But if you're not there it's going to restart. And I remember back in the day, again it's been 13 years that I've been using Linux but back in the day I'd be rendering video and I would edit these videos and I'd click to render and it would take all night because computers were slow. It wasn't even HD video but it would take all night to render out these videos and I would come back and it didn't finish rendering because halfway through rendering Windows decided to restart on its own and just killed all my processes and I was rendering a video and now I had to start all over again with the rendering and it would just bog down my computer back running Windows XP and so I didn't want to render this video during the day so I had to wait till night when I was going to bed especially if I was doing some sort of 3D rendering. Oh heaven forbid. But it's like these things are annoyances that are unneeded but not only that, they should have been fixed yet new versions of Windows keep coming out with the same problems. Anyway, that's just me ranting and complaining, laying here in a hammock and the Linux user out there know what I'm talking about and if you're an Apple user you probably know what I'm talking about too because I don't think Apple has those issues that I particularly talked about here but Windows users it's like you just don't get it because you're so used to it Anyway, that was my rant and again, I do talk about other things, I don't just complain about stuff check out my channel, most of my stuff is tutorial stuff you can learn some stuff, check out the links in the description filmsbychrist.com, that's Chris the K, that's my website check it out, search through my videos there you'll see that most of my videos are not me just complaining about stuff but I do like to vent every once in a while and mainly this is one of those the reason this is coming up is because I wanted to give a program a try called Scoop so there's package managers for Windows if you're unfamiliar about this, there are package managers Chocolate is one that I've used in the past and my daughter's calling me I'll be there in a minute and that one I was able to get working somewhat on my machine at work so I could install some tools with Deep Freeze when the computer restarts they go away so it's a fun little play environment there again, I could make the changes permanent if I wanted to because Deep Freeze is one of those scam programs that says it does something and it just kind of gives the illusion of that anyway but I wanted to try a new one called Scoop which seemed pretty neat and I haven't tried it yet but it said that you had to upgrade to PowerShell 3 and I'm pretty sure that's not what we run at work so I go to try to do that it's just not going to work and I know I can't upgrade without making changes to the system that I'm not supposed to make so anyway, again, filmsbychrist.com that's Chris Decay, there's a link in the description of the video it's at that, my page on page search through my videos and as always I hope that you have a great day
