From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user? (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.

Thanks for pointing me at tide. I always used the pure prompt but tide looks like pure on steroids.

Also look into the fzf plugin for fish. It’s the other plugin I use.

[–] turbo_snail@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you. Will take a look as well.

Fzf doesn't need fish, though. I use it with bash.

[–] Thaurin@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, fzf is fzf. This is a plugin for fish that integrates fzf with fish.

@Thaurin @zitronen what does it do in addition? For me fzf already replaces some of the keybinds to do history search, directory search, etc. What else is available on the plugin?
