zsh because I’ve been using it since college and I don’t like change

Powershell, but heavily customized.

Tovervlag ,

Why the downvotes? Ps is pretty good and it works well on Linux too.

PowerShell, because of autocomplete and shift+arrows select.

Tovervlag ,

I often end up in ps because I’m more familiar with it. But only if I have to do some scripting or so.

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

At the moment I’m using zsh with powerlevel10k. But powerlevel10k is not really supported anymore, and seems to be basically on life support. While it still works for now, I have been thinking of switching over to fish. But the lack of posix compatibility is holding me back a bit.

Bash, not because its my favourite but because it’s nearly ubiquitous. I don’t want to have to think about which shell I’m using.

Bash. By default it might seem less featureful than zsh… but bash is a lot more powerful and extensible than some give it credit for. It might be more complex to set it up the way you like it, but once you do it, that configuration can be ported over wherever bash exists (ie. almost everywhere).

I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.

I’ve explained my choice for zsh here

Nicely configured it’s so convenient that I spend most of my time in the terminal and don’t even use a file explorer anymore. It can also be expanded with some plugins for specific use-cases.

jjlinux ,

You and me both.

Your website’s theme is very pleasant to look at and also serves good for a blog since everything is easy to read. Good job, if you were the one who made it

Thank you very much for your feedback. I’ve spent quite some time trying to create a minimalist and efficient theme. Very glad to hear that I met this goal.

Swisher sweets but backwoods works too

bash is so ubiquitous that I never considered anything else.

erwan ,

Don’t try zsh, because you won’t be able to go back to bash after that 😉

Bash, just because everything else already uses it. That and bashisms have infected nearly all of my scripts as I clumsily bump into the limitations of POSIX string manipulation.

I have found some very fun things with sed branching patterns as a result of these limitations though…

I’ve recently migrated to nushell, I don’t straight up recommend it because it’s not POSIX compliant, so unless you’re already familiar with some other she’ll I would not use it.

That being said, it’s an awesome shell if you deal with structured data constantly, and that’s something I do quite often so for me it’s a great tool.

laurelraven ,

Just looking at it briefly it looks a lot like PowerShell, any reason to use it over PowerShell?

Nibodhika ,

Never used PowerShell, so I didn’t know that it was available for Linux nor open source, since from a quick search both of them seem to be true I guess there’s no real reason since both are described very similarly.

laurelraven ,

I’ll probably give it a spin anyway, might be I find some benefit and it looks like an interesting project. Being Rust based instead of C# .NET based could theoretically make it a lot faster (though I’ve not really had an issue of speed in PowerShell)

zaubentrucker ,

It’s indeed a lot like powershell, but I found it to be much less painful to use for everyday tasks. I can’t really put my finger on it, but powershell always felt very clunky and unpredictable to use. With Nushell, I can write pipelines that usually have the desired behavior on the first try. Also, its more convenient in so many different aspects that I can’t go back anymore.

The biggest downside is, that it hasn’t had a stable release yet. While I haven’t encountered any bugs yet, there are often breaking changes with new releases that may break your scripts.

laurelraven ,

Yeah, PowerShell does do things that don’t exactly make sense without having some understanding of the underlying dotnet and what the components actually do

Nibodhika ,

Like I said, never used PowerShell, but yeah, nushell pipes are very intuitive, I’ve been only using it for a short time but was already able to do very interesting pipes with minor effort
