After learning too much about Linux it's impossible for me to use Windows.

It hurts me at every step, making me question my life and everyones sanity who handles that stuff.

It's very very bad and nobody will pry Gentoo from my hands.

    It’s very rough coming back after 20+ years. Easy things on Linux quickly become a wasted day going down six trillion rabbit holes on Windows before you can even accomplish your seemingly simple task. Most problems in Windows are much more easily resolved by booting into Linux to make the repairs.

    The few times I tried bash it was awful.
    At least Powershell let's me manipulate data more freely and organized.

    But Linux has way cooler packages (Window Server 2025 finally implemented winget ootb).

    I have not used PowerShell that much, because I'm so used to bash that it felt foreign.

    There are other shells you can try, more modern, perhaps they will be more to your liking.

    Understandbly theres no real need to use powershell outside of the windows realm.

    As far as my limited experience understood it: Everything powershell gives you is in a properly formatted data type (e.g. bool, text, int, etc.) and thus can be more easily manipulated than in bash where everything is treated as text.
