    # My Windows dev setup / howto

    ### Rambelings
    Ya windows the worst os to program on or is it.
    For a long time i've been fully againced windows and i still kinda agree if you use it without "cheating". Windows it just too unstable and too un-standardized to work with on it's own, it's like using mac os with it's forever taking updates but combined with non-standardized tooling and a lot of unexpected bahavior what just results in a lot of frustration.
    For example why can i see ls taking time to display lines in powershell???, ya it's only ~50ms but still why does a simple command like ls has to take so long??
    Or why sometimes do programs not stop running when i press ctrl+c and do i need to open task manager and scroll to the program because there is no search bar so i can find it quickly??
    Well these are just a few things that make using windows not great and there are a lot more little things. Thankfully windows has evolved and now we can "cheat" around the biggest frustrations using the windows subsystem version 2, v1 still had a lot of windows problems but now with version 2 being in it's own vm it works amazing.
    I call it cheating because in the end it's comes down to really just a nice linux vm in windows that is integrated perfectly. I can now right click in a folder, click on open in fluent terminal and a linux like terminal pops up with a fully working linux shell with all the amazing linux tools. Thanks to docker and vscode their integration i can even open vscode from inside the linux terminal and use docker like i do on linux, **This is great!!**.
    Furthermore there are a lot of tools to fix to other annoying windows things like.
    Use wox instaid of the windows search for obviouse reasons,
    Use Shutup 10 and winaero tweaker to disable windows doing dumb garbage like installing shit without any reason.
    With all that together will a lot of other small tweaks i can finally say that using windows is oke now, i can now enjoy the good sides of windows without there beeing to meany down sides. Just like any Linux distro or Mac OS. Everything in the end has there downsides and upsides but as long as there are more upside than down i'm oke with using it.
