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've been using zsh with "oh my zsh". I started using it as it sounded silly and fun compared to bash. Realistically it doesn't really male mich difference. I like the auto complete, but I couldn't say for sure whether it's the shell, oh-my-zsh or what. But I like it.
It's great, but that's not the prompt. The prompt is the thing that shows up before you type a command, usually with a $ or # and the current path.
I guess I only glanced and assumed they were talking about shells 🐚. I'll shut up and pay more attention in furure 🤣
