I know when I need to fix or alter a disk I prefer linux. If I don’t understand a command I can simply type man <command> and there it all is. Whereas in windows you have to look through slop and incomplete answers.
Yeah, but without learning Microsoft, how would you know that ‘dir’ just makes sense? Or that you might want to look at ‘diskpart’ to look at your drives?
Its called learning. I know both sets of commands because I have chosen to.
The point is here is one of these two command line utilities are objectively easier to learn…
I think its just a matter of what your used to. People from the unix world would find dir confusing and copy too long.
Yeah linux is simple and modern. Msdos is nearly 50 years out of date. I use powershell in windows.
Doesn’t make those commands any more readable.
If you can’t discern the use of the command by reading the command, it is a bad command.
It should be obvious what it does without the need to translate it.

Its not. Diskpart is the stupidest way to set up a partition. Simple fdisk is way more intuitive. cfdisk is extremely simple.
