I was very satisfied with Bash for a long time until my friend got me using Zsh. I still am not sure i need Zsh over Bash honestly. Command autocomplete is obnoxious
Different things. Bash/Zsh/Fish/Nu are shells, i.e. a low level CLI interface with the computer. On systems with graphics you need a graphical program to display the shell, e.g Konsole/Gnome-shell/Alacritty. Also there’s a third (optional) program to render the line where you type commands differently, this is called a prompt and there are several different ones, e.g. Powerlevel10k/oh-my-posh/Starship.
I don’t know that anyone “needs” anything more than bash. It’s the creature comforts that sell the other shells. That said, bash has never hung or crashed on me. I can’t say the same for zsh.
thanks but i’m good with st
I’ve been a
footuser for quite some time now. However, this seems interesting.IME it feels much snappier than foot.
rn Im using Kitty, I’ll check out Ghostty later.
I <3 kitty, will probably give this a look but I’ve got kitty so well tuned to my liking at this point it’s hard for me to imagine switching
Have got kitty and xterm looking identical, multiplexing is done by zellij anyway
I think kitty is a bit snappier but honestly you could switch one out for the other and I probably wouldn’t notice
I think I’ll stick to alacritty, but options are always fun
Same. Wezterm is good enough so far

Bash and zsh aren’t terminals. They’re shells.
