I just found out about fish shell a few moments ago. I switched Konsole on KDE to use it instead of bash and am impressed so far. Might install it on the Pihole eventually. Good stuff, just wanted to share. :)

    I most definitely copy and paste commands that I don’t understand. I even use LLMs to help write simple Bash scripts. :)

    I was just curious what the use cases are for this shell as I’ve only ever used Bash.

      It’s a very user-friendly shell… except for the posix compliance.

      Everyone I know who (still) uses it daily accepts that they have to translate back and forth and still write scripts in bash (or sh).

      If you wanna give it a go, by all means. It’s just as easy to switch as to switch back. You can always drop into bash and try a command again too.

        I never have to write scripts in bash after having switched to fish. I just write all my scripts in fish. 🤷‍♂️
