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.

I’m using fish and the default is enough for anybody. 😁
Fish is a really great shell for daily use. There's so much built in, its scripting language is better (not portable though if someone else does not have fish).
By now, enough people have fish that you can basically assume those scripts being “portable”. Far better than nushell or xonsh - which are both pretty advanced shells but other tools lack support for them, e.g. Midnight Commander.
Am I a loser if I stick to POSIX?
I love it! You get git and virtual env integration for free :)
I recently started with fish and dislike that I can't drop bash commands into it because it parses differently. That is enough to annoy me to uninstall.
You shouldn’t just “drop bash commands into it” anyways. And if you really need it, bash is only one
bashaway.
