SIGTERM is the graceful way tho? It nicely asks programs to please close and cleanup. Unlike SIGKILL, which bombs the shop and creates orphans.

And we give steam a fewilliseconds to comply, so IDK what they’re complaing about…

Please end your process. You have ten milliseconds to comply.

You’re supposed to close Steam via menu or systray. If you run it in cli, you see that it cleans then a whole bunch up for a few seconds.

Steam is clunky… Exit -> Oh you want to exit? Let me launch a new window letting you know I’m shutting down and take about 20 seconds while I was sitting here idle before you asked to shutdown.

See you tomorrow where I’ll validate your games again. Just in case!

Yup. And you can kill processes in Windows to in the task manager. Or probably with a Powershell command too, but nobody’s gonna learn Powershell LOL.

There’s nearly always equivalent functions in both Linux and Windows, just in Windows you gotta click around in more bullshit forms and shit to find stuff. Or learn Powershell, but again, LOL. They are both OSes after all, they do similar things. Just one might do them better than the other.

It might be nice and all that (I wouldn’t know), but it’s not a sub- nor superset of glorious POSIX

Probably because it’s the scripting language equivalent to Clippy. Ref.: Approved “verbs”

Your opinion is wrong, Powershell must be banished

Bash already existed

It’s one of those things wher eI’m sure it’s fine if you learn it. But it’s not DOS CMD, but also not bash.

So instead of improving CMD to have more features or just going all the way and offering an official bash implementation, they want me to learn a third thing. Just don’t have time for it.

I use powershell quite a bit at work and I really like it.

If anything it’s much easier to read than the abomination called bash.

I wanna learn PowerShell but I only really learn extra stuff like that if I have to. My work computer is a Mac now and has been since 2019. At home I don’t use too much on Windows to really warrant it. I did used to know how to do “sudo” in PowerShell which was useful. Best the hell out of restarting as admin.

The “object” approach instead of everything as text seems desirable.
