The creator/manitainer of zsh for humans is active and very helpful on the zsh subreddit. He's helped me with a few bits of zsh scripting. One more reason to love the open source community.

As far as I'm concerned, zsh is a happy medium. Good amount of features (bloat xd) for an interactive shell, but not totally divorced from standards like fish. I tend to script as portably as possible, so obviously not a good system shell.

ZSH has great file management methods, so much so you can probably ditch vifm AND the gui file manager if you really wanted to. The speed is the biggest con for me, but most people won't use the bulk of the plugins anyways.

Zsh is fun but I like to use Fish. Zsh needs to be customised, Fish is customised OOTB. Fish has most QOL functions built-in that you'd need to add plugins for in Zsh. This makes Fish faster than Zsh.

i tend to agree with you however fish is not the easiest to customize and modify to your own unless you know a great deal of stuff.

@@unklebonehead Well, the main point went over your head. Let me rephrase that. ZSH needs to be customised to add the same functionality that Fish comes with OOTB. Does that make you feel better? @roniez fish_config opens a Web UI configuration window in a browser.

Tks for the vídeo. I’m really new to Linux, I installed fedora on my surface go and it is impressive that it does a much better job than Microsoft on its own hardware. I was wondering how you guys have those cool terminals but didn’t even know which search terms to use. I will give it a shot on my surface.

Thank you for this! Using this setup I could finally get highlighting and tmux working together! I tried for hours today to make my (oh-my-)zsh setup with syntax-highlighting work together with tmux, but could not get it to work and I needed to source my .zshrc to re-enable highlighting, which was too annoying. The only thing I am missing with zsh for humans a bit is that currently vi mode is not supported, but it's not that essential in the command line after all.

LC_ ALL maybe, I hated getting those messages when I was screwing with my bashrc, and trying these fancy scripts lol. look into your .zshrc, I would suggest just going back with bash, I mean all those fancy color scripts and fonts, make it a little slower, anyways, hope you got it fixed. environment variables can be a pita sometimes.

hey matt as someone who minimully knows the difference between the shells and not sure what the reason is when bash is more popular. could you maybe do a video or multiple going through some of the basics of why you'd use different shells and switching between shells. im probably gonna stick to bash just cause i don't know anything about it. but i'd like to learn more about them. i just know that for instance some people use one shell but still use bash for scripts. i just haven't really found much of a clear explaination.

Alternative shells are weird. Like they are entirely new languages, that no one uses because then their shell script would be incompatible for most people, and instead we just install them to have pretty colours in the terminal. Like I dont understand why the people who made ZSH or Fish did not just rewrite Bash to be 100% compatible, but built from the ground up to be customizable and ship with pretty colours and auto suggestions.
