    fish is, by far, the best shell that I've ever tried. It just works. It has amazing features built in. It doesn't need a ton of configuration to look half decent. I quite literally haven't even looked for plugins for it so I'm not even sure if they're supported. Regardless, I haven't needed any after many years of using fish.

      @sudorandom the only disadvantages I can say about #fish #shell are:

      • it's not that standard shell on #Linux (#bash is!)
      • it's quite THICC at ~ 2,5 MB
      • It obviously (and necessarily) breaks compatibility to any other shell...

      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...

      • But then again that's me being nitpicky and different scopes of interest...
