Or any other alternate shells that aren’t bash?
I use fish
Not that kind of “use!”
zsh and oh-my-zsh :)
Same here, just started a few days ago with both and Atuin for history across devices (server can be selfhosted easily)
I use fish, but only interactively. Scripts are either in bash or Python depending om what I need.
At work we use it sometimes on Linux because we maintain a script that needs to work on multiple platforms, ps1 did that in this usecase better.
Came down to ps1 on Linux was better and more predictable than bash on windows.
Sadly.
Same, only time we used it is when we needed a script that was running in Windows and Linux, easier to maintain one script that 2 in 2 languages
I use Linux to get away from PowerShell 😂 I did try zsh though, it was nice, maybe give it a shot.
Basically no one is using powershell on Linux. zsh is popular and i’m using fish.
No.
I usually just use Bash; there’s a certain level of complexity where it begins to be more reasonable to just use Python.
I use powershell for some scripting. I’ve been using .net/powershell forever and I know it better than python. If bash can’t handle it in a few lines, and I don’t have to use python, I’ll go powershell.
Does zsh count?
It’s not my default shell on most of my servers but I use it all the time. I’m just not a fan of treating everything as a stream of text to grep, trim and sort into structured data that’s easier to work with. Plus, cross platform. I’ve tried nushell a bit but I always go back to PowerShell.
only for extraordinarily cursed situations where games need it in wine/proton
I used to use fish but I’m learning Unix right now and am trying to use only defaults so I can learn freebsd the way it exists on a dvd
Only when I’m doing MS shit for work. Otherwise I find it kind of a pain. I get that some of it’s ideas are nice, but functionally it doesn’t actually do anything for me on unixy systems that bash doesn’t so I don’t. I’m not going to install it on all my servers so using it for scripting doesn’t make sense and I do more Linux admin than MS.
i ws forced to do it recently and noticed that they enforce usage of black terminal, like it is in the command prompt in windows.
it was a pain in the ass to keep switch colors just to touch that one powershell module and my first priority to replacing with with a python equivalent. they still think that the powershell module is being used, but it’s no longer capable of working in this environment and they’re going to have to spend $$$ to make it useable because i forsee LOT of difficulty and delays in bringing it up to spec.
I use both fish and zsh
somehow
That’s… a big gap. I think I’d just be confused all the time if I had to switch between them.
I mean, missing commands say that it’s zsh but everything else says that it’s fish.
