Thankfully, it’s been awhile since I last had to use Windows on my day to day.

If I ever have to deal with it again, here is my cheat sheet of commands:

Linux command PowerShell equivalent command
xdg-open ii
rm -rf rm -r -fo
rm ri
mv mv
touch ni
cat cat
man man
shutdown Stop-Computer
tail -f Get-Content -Path “C:\scripts\test.txt” -Tail 10
