Nothing like that "new distro" feel - lemm.ee

Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I’ve since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.

Possibly a n00b question. What’s the benefit of fish over zsh or bash? Does it provide something extra?

I’m using zsh at the moment.

Last time I checked it’s like zsh but preconfigured and dumbed down. Like the zsh4humans repo, but worse.
The auto suggestion from Fish shell is something I cannot live without anymore. Saves me so much time and avoiding typos. Not sure if zsh can do the same, maybe with a plugin ? If so, I’d like to hear about it. I use zsh for a few things, besides bash and fish to keep their history apart.
There IS a plugin for zsh that does exactly that and I’ve been using it without issue for a few months now!

Thanks. Got it installed, and works after reading the Debian README :

Installation

Add the following to your .zshrc:

source /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh

then start a new terminal session.
