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.

What's your favourite to use? Mine is Fish due to its ease of use and user friendly approach.

Bash is the pepperoni of shell tools being reliable in every field no matter what but I've moved to Fish as I wanted to try something different.

So what's your shell of choice?

Zsh + oh-my-zsh

Fish for interactive shell. “It depends” for scripting, but usually ends up Bash since it is the NixOS default.

I have been enjoying fish a lot over the last few months, but I generally try to use Bash, it makes cross-*NIX administration that much easier.

Fish, without a doubt.

I really like fish because it has excellent contextual autocomplete based on the folder you're in. I haven't used any other shell that was as good at it.

Fish shell. I switched to fish ages ago, back when I didn't know much bash scripting. Now I am just so used to it that I don't wanna switch back. Plus it just works.

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.

Plus oh-my-zsh and the powerline 10k theme - this is my go-to shell.

Pure theme ftw
