  • Why not put it in VM?

    The only thing I’d suggest if you do that is to have at least 32 GB of RAM, because I was in a situations where running few Electron apps, and Win11 VM caused RAM to fill up. But if you’re not running Electron apps you should be fine with 16 GB.

    And if you’re planning to play games, you could use GPU passthrough for near-native performance, but from what I’ve heard it’s a bit hard to set up.

















  • In PowerShell most common cmdlets for basic operations have aliases by default. And funnily enough you can use both Windows (cmd.exe) and Unix shell names for these. (copy vs cp, del vs rm, etc.)

    AFAIK The cmdlets that you use only by Verb-Noun convention are mostly used in scripts, or in some administration tasks.

    I also think that some poeple miss the point of PowerShell, as it’s not supposed to be worked with like with Unix shells, since it’s more object-oriented than string-oriented.
