I understand the powertoys love but what does wsl give you that you don’t have with zsh & MacOS?
I run powershell on my Mac because I think pwsh is the bomb but I don’t get how wsl gives you anything that isn’t there on the Mac already, unless it’s a specific Linux wsl distro you greatly prefer.
On average, yeah, but when it’s worse, it’s the most bafflingly bad.
Like why is the only way to be able to open files in a hidden folder to remember a keyboard shortcut? There’s no icon, and you can’t type a subfolder name.
Windows’ weird UX of having that temporary view setting in the context menu makes no sense, but at least I don’t have to Google how to do it every time.
Maybe everyone has their biases, but MacOS is often terrible in comparison to Windows, at least in my experience. Hell simply things like snapping windows appropriately MacOS absolutely is trash at still.
It’s always seemed to me that MacOS is still suffering from design decisions made back in the 80’s when it was running on a single 9" monochrome screen, and Apple is far too stubborn to change it.
At least Microsoft isn’t afraid to change things up, even if a lot of their UI changes end up pretty questionable.
Not sure why that warrants a yikes; macOS is far more usable than Windows 11. I’d go so far as to call it downright pleasant in comparison.
Yeah mac os is the best middle ground. It is a lot more like Linux than Windows will ever be
I wouldn’t say so. PowerToys and WSL are absolutely incredible tools for advanced users.

Not the OP but I agree WSL doesn’t offer much over Mac unless you care about GNU vs BSD.

Different workflow, macOS does not expect you to snap windows. I’m not 100% familiar with the macOS workflow, but I know it’s different.
