Unless you regularly need to run other people's scripts, this presents a compelling, lightweight alternative to Oh My Zsh

Yes the fishy shell. I heard that they are doing a full rewrite in Rust. I might switch from bash when that happens (rust desktop moments).

It's completely usable as-is, I'll say. I've been using Fish as my shell for about four years. Quite happy with it. It does almost everything I want out of the box which would require a more elaborate bashrc setup, otherwise.

The only annoying thing is most bash-isms don't work.

Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

  1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
  2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
  3. Social Media Recommendations:

Rules

  1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm.
  2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
  3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
  4. All site-wide rules still apply
