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 still write all my scripts for bash (or busybox sh) with a shebang, then call it from fish.

      I do too but then you want to just run basic for i;do x;done and you need to translate it to fish syntax.

      It wasn’t much of a problem but this thread actually convinced me that there’s less profit from fish than using something like an old oh-my-zsh(probably much easier to setup now).

      Is it good if you setup your new pc, don’t have your configs at hand and want a nice terminal with convenient features? Definitely. But I think it’s better to spend 5 minutes afterwards to move away from it.
