Computing on Windows

Using Microsoft Windows it is not for the faint-hearted, this page is journey of me using Windows 10, still refuse to go 11 despite the support for consumer 10 already dead in the water.

Must have software

• clink, makes computing in CMD somewhat bearable, similar experience using GNU Readline.
• scoop, no nonsense package manager

One liner

New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "Link" -Target "Target"
