Thoughts on zsh

+

2025-06-22

+

do I need it?

+

I kinda figured out that although youtubers attempt to make you feel a has-been if +you don't use all the bells and whistles that come with zsh, that Bash does everything I need, and I can extend it if needed.

+

Minimalism might be my aim, but it's not a do of die mantra, even so zsh appears rather flash and with esoteric possibilies that I will never use.

+

I'm also keeping my bash scripts, there seems to be little point in making them reliant on some other shell.

+

There are also a number of things that can improve your bash "experience" like Blesh - Bash Line Editor

+

So I'm sticking to Bash for now.

+

Edit: after adding blesh I found that Midnight Commander (mc) took a few seconds to start, I fixed it with an alias:

+alias mc="mc --nosubshell" +

Re-Edit: sometimes typing in the termnal was non responsive, I got annoyed after a while and removed Blesh from .bashrc

+

Turns out simple is best, who would have thought it?
