Or any other alternate shells that aren’t bash?
At work I use powershell to ssh into Linux boxes fairly regularly.
Only when I’m doing MS shit for work. Otherwise I find it kind of a pain. I get that some of it’s ideas are nice, but functionally it doesn’t actually do anything for me on unixy systems that bash doesn’t so I don’t. I’m not going to install it on all my servers so using it for scripting doesn’t make sense and I do more Linux admin than MS.
I used to use fish but I’m learning Unix right now and am trying to use only defaults so I can learn freebsd the way it exists on a dvd, so right now I’ve been using the Bourne shell
only when dealing with azure for work. otherwise bash/python work just fine and have for me for the last 30 odd years.
I use both fish and zsh
somehow
That’s… a big gap. I think I’d just be confused all the time if I had to switch between them.
I mean, missing commands say that it’s zsh but everything else says that it’s fish.
only for extraordinarily cursed situations where games need it in wine/proton
Zsh is nice, particularly with a couple of plugins
I use fish
Not that kind of “use!”
I use it for some things. It’s good for file batch processing, for example. I could probably do those things in python but I use C# and powershell at work so I know .net better.
At work we use it sometimes on Linux because we maintain a script that needs to work on multiple platforms, ps1 did that in this usecase better.
Came down to ps1 on Linux was better and more predictable than bash on windows.
Sadly.
Same, only time we used it is when we needed a script that was running in Windows and Linux, easier to maintain one script that 2 in 2 languages
I tried to use it for admin in a Windows environment, but half the modules I needed wouldn’t work in Linux which made it pretty much useless.
The idea of someone using powershell when you are on Linux is a form of self harm and you need to reach out as its clearly a cry for help.
Basically no one is using powershell on Linux. zsh is popular and i’m using fish.
I use xonsh.
No.
I usually just use Bash; there’s a certain level of complexity where it begins to be more reasonable to just use Python.
