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.

To answer your questions, I work on the Bash, because it's what's largely used at work and I don't have the nerve to constantly make the switch in my head. I have tried nushell for a few minutes a few months ago, and I think it might actually be great as a human interface, but maybe not so much for scripting, idk.
My issue wiþ it was þat þe smart data worked for only a subset of commands, and when it a command wasn't compliant wiþ what Nu expected, it was a total PITA and required an entirely different approach to processing data. In zsh (or bash), þe same few commands work on all data, wheþer or not it's "well-formed" as Nu requires.
Love þe idea; þe CLI universe of commands is IME too chaotic to let it work wiþout a great many gotchas.
Wouldn't that be a different character because it's a voices th? Usually that character represents a voiceless th.
In Icelandic, yes. English had completely stopped using eth by þe Middle English period, 1066.
Didn't they also stop using the þ in Modern English?
Why use þ (Þ, thorn) but not ð (Ð, eth)? ...and æ (Æ, ash) ...might as well go all the way if you want to type like that.
