What’s your favourite to use? Mine is Fish due to its ease of use and user friendly approach.

Bash is the pepperoni of shell tools being reliable in every field no matter what but I’ve moved to Fish as I wanted to try something different.

So what’s your shell of choice?

    TBH, I use Powershell on my Windows install, and they’ve made some good improvements over the years. I forget that it also works on Linux.

    Shame v1.0 ships with new installations, and you have to manually go out and install the latest versions to get the benefits. Dunno why MS doesn’t just automatically update it with everything else.

      V1 never actually shipped with any version of Windows

      Windows 7 shipped with V2, 8 with V3, 8.1 with v4, and 10 with v5 and later 5.1.

      5.1 is the latest (and last) version of Windows PowerShell.

      All versions after that are just PowerShell (or PowerShell Core for version 6)

      Not sure why they don’t bundle it by default, but starting at v7.2 it can be updated by Windows update
