thejodie, 4 months ago in Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time?

I just pull down my ansible playbook from github and run it.

Zsh with prezto and some sort of guake-like

What does prezto do? Is it similar to oh-my-zsh? Have you ever tried fish shell?

SaintWacko, 4 months ago

Yeah, very similar. And I used to use fish, but I got fed up with it not supporting bash scripts, so now I just have prezto with plugins that make it act exactly like fish 😁

I used to use zsh with oh-my-zsh and Powerlevel10k before I switched to fish. I actually considered going back to zsh (don’t remember why) but now I’m pretty happy with fish. What to you mean with fish not supporting bash scripts? A bash script should always have #!/bin/bash at the beginning of the file, that way it will always be executed in bash, even if you run it from fish.

I can’t remember the details, it was 6 or 7 years ago that I switched, but it was something at work that wasn’t working because fish used a different scripting language

That’s strange. If you ever want to try fish again, you can do this to avoid problems with bash scripts:

• NEVER set your system shell (the /bin/sh symlink) to fish, it will cause so many problems. Make sure to use bash or dash.
• Only set your user shell to fish, use chsh to do this.
• Use #!/usr/bin/env sh at the beginning of scripts
• If you encounter some problems, just run your script like this: bash script.sh
