Zsh? That's a command shell I have not heard of for a very long time.
Check the date on his computer, is it also set to something in the 1980s?

Nushell is very cozy for me. I work with SQL all day so I ended with PTSD and having my terminal syntax cosplay as it is nice.
A 4chaner has friends? Fake nerd copium.
What specifically do you dislike about zsh?
It's the index on 1 that ruins it for me.
Edit: come to think of it what would zsh print out for echo $0?
tbh it's fine and i use it a lot more than bash.
I'm not tring that on my machine. What does it does?
Prints out what shell you're using. Bash is default for most Linux distros. MacOS switched from bash to zsh as their default. Zsh is hella customizable, by default it functions more or less like bash.
Fish is cool, has neat quality of life features out of the box, but can also break scripts sometimes.
Good scripts don't break in other shells, they use a shebang
For me it does not seem to print anything
I'm using fish, which is great :)
Thank you. TIL.
Default zsh is just bash, you need to add all the fancy plugins to get it to do cool stuff
fish is for people who don't want to spend the time setting it all up and to just get a shell that has most of the QoL fetaures builtin.
Fish is for people who like it when sometimes scripts don't work
Why would sometimes scripts not work? All scripts are executed with bash by default.
No, they are executed according to the shebang on the first line, which is usually bash. If it is missing, it will default to the current shell.
what kind of monster writes a script without a shebang?
That's true, but I definitely use fish as my default shell and when it runs a script without shebang it automatically runs it with bash. Thus I assume that's the fish default to make your scripts work.

it's actually windows
C:\WINDOWS\system32>echo $0
$0
C:\WINDOWS\system32>
In Powershell, it exits with no output
Search for whatever passes for a terminal in microslop machine
Top result is Terminal from 2018
As far as I can tell it is some kind of action thriller movie?
