Boring is good. I don’t want to be surprised by the software I use.
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.
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.
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
The article just describes the how, but gives no reasons for a why.
So, why would anyone move away from the de-facto standard bash, except for some rare circumstances like having a small system and using busybox?
