I believe fish shell doesnβt get enough attention. Iβm really suggest you to try it out.
It can replace oh-my-zsh without or almost without plugins, while providing even better user experience.

Today, unlike many days before, I woke up to seeing a project I use and like very much on the path towards taking a stand against LLMs.
Today is off to a good start, thank you #fishShell.
All these quality of life improvements in #ghostty. π Congrats to the whole team for 1.3.
The native notification on command finish! I've had a #fishshell plugin for I don't know how many years for this... I'm going to need to test this magic. π

@sudorandom the only disadvantages I can say about #fish #shell are:
Still, I do intent to package it someday for @OS1337 simply because for a "fully-fledged, everyday" #toybox + #musl / #linux distro that wants to maximize #MDA @ 80x25 I'll propably need more functionality than I can reasonably expect @landley to include into toybox's own shell, which AFAIK doesn't support .bash_aliases or other alias / function declarations per config file *as of the time of writing this...
