cmd.exe doesn't even have pipes, smdh

for real though, modern linux distros will rarely require you to enter a command line, and if you do, a quick internet search can usually help you find out what you need to enter

I've lived in various Unix terminals for the last decade+ and cmd.exe scares the shit out of me. Well no it doesn't, but I hate it and I'm always pretty sure I'm about to brick the whole computer. Which is an improvement tbf if it's running Windows
- it's awesome how every tutorial on how to change anything deep about Windows starts with "Hit Win+R and type regedit.exe. WARNING: Editing your Windows registry can have potentially catastrophic results for your system. Please make a restore point before following this tutorial."
  
  Meanwhile it's 100% possible to torch your system without warning with rm -rf in the wrong place and I love that.
