Nice. But I want to change the default terminal in gnome but gnome-files doesn’t respect my choice. …
This might be right up your alley.
Honestly I prefer https://ohmyposh.dev it’s damn nice. Not that it’s a different shell, but makes any shell look nice
It looks pretty, but IMO one of the selling points of zsh is that it allows async updating of the prompt, allowing you to use slow commands like “git status” without adding a delay every time the prompt needs to be printed.
E.g. the default prompt from prezto is quite light and responsive, but when inside a git repo adds the info on the right side (shows when you have commits ahead/behind the remote branch, stashes, modified/deleted/added/staged files, etc) when that becomes available.

Didn’t look like any of the example themes on ohmyposh.dev had the $RPROMPT stuff, which I guess would be difficult support for a cross-shell theming engine.
ZSH 4 lyf
i use nushell
I use fish
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?
You probably never used fish shell.
Yeah, and I suspect most reading the article haven’t either, so the above guy’s question stands - what’s wrong with Bash in comparison to the others?
Stop posting these clickbait pajeet articles
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.
