Hmm... Not sure how Linux' terminal is any better than this, tbh.
Even ignoring all the wacky command names - you have a billion different commands, each doing everything in its own way.
PowerShell is uniform and standardised. This makes learning things super easy. Like, you can't tell me that you don't know what's going on by just looking at the code I posted.
i meant on graphical versions like the settings app could be a lot better
command line/terminal depends on what youre used to and whatnot
It's not that bad in the GUI as well, as long as you don't try to angrily fight against change, like OP did.
Go to Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Advanced Settings. You're already on the old-style dialogue known from the Control Panel days. Two more clicks and you're in the spot where you can change the page file settings.
People love to shit on Settings, but that's just weird dudes being angry at change. Control Panel was a chaotic mess. As a guy who worked as first line IT support at the time when Win10 came out, I could not be happier when Settings happened. Everything had a super neat, super easy to follow "route" I could describe to the user over the phone. No need to start describing the difference between the side-bar links, and tabs, and having to click "OK" six times to ACTUALLY save the change you made, because the setting you changed was buried six pop-up windows deep...
they both existed in 10? control panel also still exists, just harder to access.
Yes, Settings first released with Windows 10. The one in Win11 is very similar, just slightly different design.
As a guy who worked in IT for over 20 years - I hate CP with a passion. It's a complete mess, and chaos. You click an icon to open a view, to click a link to open a window, then switch to a tab, and press a button to get another window with more tabs... "Press 'Advanced' four times in a row to get to where you need to be" kind of nonsense.
