tip: don’t install fish or whatever, change your default shell, THEN uninstall fish because you don’t like it.

Change your default shell back first.

I have seen way too many support posts where people paint their self I to a corner doing that.

or just don’t change the default shell.

run fish as needed, then exit back to bash when done.

I have

Ive been using zsh for most of my linux time cause it is trendy.

Im actually planning a move to bash. All else being equal, i prefer gpl-style to mit-style. (Tried fish didnt like it.)

Dyk the “monopoly man” illustration was created by the grandparent of the original developer of bash? And was uncredited by the company who owns Monopoly until a relative publicized this recently.

More importantly: did you know the “monopoly man” does not in fact wear a monocle? We live in trying times.

I am in the process of learning about/choosing shells for my new setup. Can you please elaborate on gpl-vs-mit style - what do you mean? Is it just about licences?

yes it is just about the license. i think gpl is better for humanity.

i don’t have a better argument than that. i guess i am just turning into that kind of person lol

Boring is good. I don’t want to be surprised by the software I use.

Zsh is a nice balance of modern features and backwards compatibility with bash.

A lot of folks don’t know that you can do this. They just stick with the default install for whatever distro they’re using. Articles like this aren’t really for seasoned users, they’re for relative newbies who didn’t know.

You could have complained about the clickbait with racist slurs.

I don’t see the clickbait. The title references how to change the shell, the article then shows exactly that.

I think you’re using clickbait as a meaningless buzzword for something you don’t like, rather than its actual meaning.

No one gets “bored” with a fucking shell. This is just cheap clickbait instead of adding a bland title.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
