You can use cmd. But in windows 11, terminal is the default shell. It is miles better than cmd and powers hell in that it can run tabbed versions of any shells you have installed. Pyshell, chocolaty, git bash, azure cloud, even anaconda. It is all available in one place and has a lot of quality of life improvements. It’s also not bloated at the same time if you can believe that.
Interesting thing is I’ve been running Windows 11 on the laptop that I purchased for business use for the past I don’t know 4 years or whatever it is that I’ve had it it was one of the early laptops at Costco sold with Windows 11 on it. I use it exclusively for business use in the it world. Mostly so I can turn remote control when I’m configuring system servers etc over to other technicians and I don’t have to worry about what’s on it because in the end I could just wipe the whole thing and not give a shit. But not one person not one technician not one tech desk I’ve worked with and a lot of access to my laptop over the past 4 years give or take has ever even bothered opening that program. Everybody pretty much just uses the command prompt to do all the things are going to do on it. And I suppose if I were actively and admin full time or something for that effect I would use it. But in that case the last time I ran and never Operation center or I was an administrator I ran Linux and just ran terminal over that.
I am an L3 for an MSP. I pretty much exclusively use terminal on windows 11. Tends to be the old guys I work with that use cmd still. It’s fine to have lots of experience doing things the way you’ve always done them. It’s also fine for there to be improvements in the systems we use.
I know I definitely believe that there’s full time to be able to improve stuff like this. I don’t mind trying out new programs that work much better and smoother than the old ones. The point is the command prompt just works every single time any single time and you don’t have to worry about installing anything cuz it’s baked in built in and at the core of every single window system. You don’t have to get used to new commands new terminal lingo or anything like that it just works.
I’ve had “cmd” default to “CmDust.exe” which is a program installed by Codemeter (a hardware dongle licence thing).
Considering I used to type “cmd” and get CmDust.exe, I was happy when Terminal became easier to launch. And Terminal is great to use, imo
30 seconds ago I literally just typed in the CMD and hit enter and it opened up my command prompt.
