I just have to pull the trigger and see if I regret it or not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago I went from bash to zsh to fish. I understood bash. Manual is good, searchable, understandable. I never understood zsh. Manual is split up in several different man pages, very annoying to find what you're looking for. I never ever understood what I was doing, config wise. Just blindly following convoluted how-to's. With fish, I finally understand every aspect of my shell again, and it's like 10x simpler than bash. Can be learned completely within 30 minutes or so. Highly recommend the switch. permalink fedilink source parent
