ZSH - A Better Shell than Bash?

Would love to see how to use ascii art with zsh

I'm OK with Bash - and not going to lie, I'm boringly old-fashioned. Zsh always looks pretty hipster and soydev for me, but nevertheless I have some curiosity about other Unix shells (Ksh and Csh, to name a few).

Backspacing to delete your line isn't actually necessary. CTRL-A CTRL-K will do.

Good walk through, though I think the concern on memory usage is way over done. I work in the embedded world every day, writing firmware for microcontrollers with 2k ram, and linux systems with 500 MB of ram, never once have I worried about how much memory the shell used, and yet we are here quibbling over 1-2 megs on a user system with 5 GB of memory? Maybe you forgot its not 1993 any more...

if you are not using vi mode, you are basically using gnu readline and it has all kinds of shorcuts like vi, move or edit line, word etc.

Watching this video fnom mobile phone is just torture...Why can't you use a larger font in shell. It is even tiny for a monitor as well.

Fish is probably heavier, but it has made my workflow so much faster and easier.

have not see any changes all commands works LOL

the completion in zsh is just too awesome too not use

I love zsh

Configuring ZSH is much more confusing than BASH IMO but it’s worth it. Having more built in functionality is really nice. I think I might try something much more divergent in the future though like xonsh, fish, or elvish that doesn’t try to maintain bash compatibility. If I need bash compatibility I’ll just use bash and use something more modern for interacting with the system manually

Thank you so much :)

Zsh = Zoomer Shell

QUEATION:
Can i completely get rid of bash and just keep zsh on my system?

can i compile gentoo on a 32bit cpu? i have ultra low power core duo cpu

both

hey, Mental. you are using gentoo with DWM. what is your idea about systemd and openrc? which one should i start with? thanks

There is no learning curve to using ZSH, it's basically an upgraded Bash.

I used ZSH on Ubuntu for a week or two and didn't like it. However, I quite enjoy it on other systems that come by default with ZSH, e.g. Kali. Not sure why, but on Ubuntu I faced many bugs. I wanted to use the autocompletition that ZSH allows and that didn't work quite as well on Ubuntu as it does on Kali. I believe I had some other issues as well, unfortunately this was too long ago for me to remember.

if you're a real GIGA CHAD, you make your own looking and functionality zsh in bash! I edit my bashrc to the point of satisfaction and pure awesomeness

Screen is way too small to watch on the mobile phone! Could you record it bigger next time, please?

The thumbnail 🤌

Hold backspace?

I just use ctrl+c and i’m on new line.

I like zsh but it’s pretty sad that some oneline commands can work on one shell but can’t work on other.

For example command :echo ‘something1\nsomething2” | tee -a some.file
Will add 2 rows in zsh with something1 and something2 content…. and 1 row with something1\nsomething2 in bash..

ZSH rocks! It’s as good as your video investigation is the total opposite of standard scientific inquiry, and also a standard sw review on the Tube.
However don’t feel bad: everything is going to fix-fit in place

I got a mac and first I did was changing the ZSH to BASH 😅

Exporting PS1 and not using the exported LS_COLORS? I'm out.

Great thumbnail tho.

You could make the terminal font a bit smaller, it's too big in mobile, I can see it too much

I'm pretty happy with zsh. I tried ksh for a while, but just wasnt having it. Whatd you end up settling on?

Imma call it Zell

Bash is standard
Zsh is option

dont forget the compatibility to bash scripts for zsh! While writing scripts I want to paste snippets in my shell to test them out and dont want to switch to bash for that. And I dont want to write all my scripts in posix shell just to work with zsh too. And you see many #/usr/bin/env bash scripts in the wild. So that is another reason to stay at bash

Could not read most of the text, even n HD you should use a more classic resolution so fonts are larger. Most Unix/Linux cli commands will work on 80x24 screen as the baseline for text terminals

Man I really need to debloat my arch system
I'm using a full 300MB when idle

I love the fish shell, also the modernised Scripting syntax. Still, they really need to make it work with posix compliant shell syntax. Until then, I think zsh is quite nice

Bash is old fashioned but reliable. Zsh is young and hip with the kids. Accurate way of describing both in a thumbnail IMO

This is the most scientific bloat test I've ever seen.

I am a proud bash-boomer in my 20s.

Honestly powershell is the best shell

Yes it runs on linux

I think you'll find it's actually called GNU bash 😂

Can you please create telegram channel?

I prefer xonsh.

Personally use zsh with the kali zshrc on Ubuntu. I did extend my command history for autosuggestions though.

Can you review it now that it has been about 2 years?

what I dislike about bash is, that when I copy more lines of commands into bash, it will execute them automatically (except the last one) , it is annoying

is there away to change bash so it does it like zsh?

I use dash for scripts and zsh as a CLI, fight me bashtards

i wonder why unix has the u censored

What about fish shell

fish :)
