Recently I got really interested in debloating and hardening my operating systems, cause I’m heavily inspired by Unix and “worse is better” philosophy. As I heard bash is heavy and we have much more lightweight and faster alternatives like these mentioned in title. They must be great alternative for scripting and interpreting but is there any reason to use them on my machines as interactive shell? Anyone are using them? Also is it worth to learn them as bash is standard IT industry?
I don’t want to remove bash, that’s not my point. It’s hard dependency for my system. Now I understand that dash sucks as interactive shell. Maybe I’ll try fish as interactive shell just to check what it is, cause it’s popular at the moment. But as I’m forced to have bash installed and it’s great for interactive shell usage I will stick with it :)
