Should we all be using zsh or fish?

>not using bash with you're own patches

>>61635045
zsh is for hipster nerds
fish is just a slightly worse version of bash that has pretty colors

>>61635061
why bother? zsh does all that and then some.

only problem with fish is it's not posix compatible, nor does it have a posix compatibility mode like zsh

That almost looks like a dick. Protip: you cannot unsee it.

>>61635045
Fuck no, we should ALL be using mksh & dash as a root shell

>>61635289
>Zebra's SHell
Oh no how will zsh user ever recover?

>>61637153
is dash really that much faster?
>ubuntu uses it as it's boot shell because it's 4x faster than bash

zsh

>>61637176
go be stupid somewhere else
>>61637235
tbqh, that isn't as bad as Zebra.

use 100k loc chad shell or use 100k loc abandoned shell?
Nah, I will keep using slim ksh.

>>61635045
Yes, fish.

dash is a very fast POSIX shell and ksh93 is great for programming
something something best tool for the job

>>61637562
just leave

>>61637866
I use zsh, does the job. Also love zsh's autocomplete.

>>61635045

ZSH yes.

Fish absolutely not.

I use bash as interactive shell because it's the default on Linux and ksh93 has some small problems with autocomplete. I might switch to zsh some day, though.
I administer some UNIX servers so knowledge of ksh is vital, even if the default there is usually the older ksh88.

that's the problem of terminal emulator, not shell

>windows users

do yourself a favor, if you're not going to replace windows at least install a decent shell

What are the advantages of using other shells than bash? To look cool on screenfetch threads?

>>61638272
not that anon, but I used to do a lot of automation in Powershell both at home and work back and it was super cozy. Then Windows 8 happened and I decided to leave the sinking ship and installed Arch instead. I knew some bash from the college times but using it now for real life tasks, basically anything more complicated than moving things around and calling a program in a loop, felt like a hack at best. Parsing commandline output with regexes, leaning back on awk to do any maths, christ, it felt as if it was 90s all over again.

Then I learned to just screw bash and go straight to python if I cannot solve the problem with a oneliner. Haven't felt happier ever since.

Anyway, my point is, well, why don't you take some time and learn what Powershell is capable of compared to traditional nix shells before replying LOL WINDOWS, would you? Have nice day anyway.

wow what the fuck ZSH shill mods deleted my eggselent post

ZSH - ZERO SEX HAD

I still use Windows by choice but on the servers where I have control I use ipython as the system shell.

>it felt as if it was 90s all over again.
Disagree, the Linux CLI/SHell is much more like 70/80's, in the 90's we had good Object Oriented systems like OS/2, Plan9, BeOS, etc.

>>61638272
Nah, using Powershell on Linux. I'm not falling into the license trap.

powershell is the best part of wandows

>>61638544
>I use ipython as the system shell.
Tried xonsh?

>>61638293
bash is the de facto standard for scripting, but zsh is a lot more advanced for interactive use. Shit like completion and globbing is way easier and faster.

>>61638483
All I can glean from your post is that Powershell is extremely overengineered, like everything else Microsoft produces, and that Windows users don't quite grasp what the point of a shell is, or what full fledged programming languages like Python even exist when shell scripting already does.

i've been a windows systems engineer for 10 years. i use powershell all the time, i even remember when it came out. such high hopes.

but here is an actual powershell command

Install-WindowsFeature Net-Framework-Core -source \\network\share\sxs

here's another

Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Include *.doc,*.docx -File -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

just two questions:

why do i need to specify between "WindowsFeature" and any other package? oh right, because windows is a multi-cultural steaming pile of loosely associated crap

why do i need to specify a sane default error action? probably because the developers are't allowed to do their jobs
