Battle of the slashes
(lemmy.world)
Linux is the force itself, Mac and Windows are both stormtroopers that try to shoot each other but don't hit.
Or rather, being tech savvy is the force. You can then choose sides. Personally I'm with the open-force community.
You have my first comment save on lemmy, stranger.
No idea when this happened but you can also use forward slashes in Windows. So typing c:/users into the Explorer address bar works.
You can even mix and match! C:\tmp/file.txt is valid. Very helpful for cross-os compatibility.
Does only windows do this or do Linux and mac work with both slashes too ?
I thought linux was pretty strict with this
Windows is the odd one out, everywhere else uses forward slash.
On classic MacOS the path separater was a ":".
This is what happens when you have Windows coming out of the CP/M micro operating system family and everybody else is some kind of Unix derivative.
