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?


Where speaking about shells, not terminals.
My bad, I apologize, and thanks for clarifying. I think my brain automatically changed shell for terminal, and I could have sworn your reply had a question mark after ‘terminal’. Gotta stop replying here when I’m almost asleep.
For shell, I always end up switching to Zsh, mainly because of the extensive and easy customization.
