    After switching to zsh setting up antigen, my linux terminal is super comfortable now.

        @broniebrown If you pair it with Antigen, it's worlds nicer than anything else I've seen. Syntax highlighting, command tab-completion, command spellcheck, plugins to make common operations easier (the git one is really nice). Support for "z", which lets you just jump to your commonly visited folders (as learned from you) by typing z (foldername) instead of having to cd the full path.

      @ceruleanspark What is zsh ? I thought it was an encryption for putty

        @critialcloudkicker It's a shell, like bash.

          @broniebrown ... Why would you want to install multiple shells ? ( Shells are like command line interfaces right ? )

            @critialcloudkicker Why would anyone install multiple desktop environments or operating systems?

              @broniebrown To... ehmm... get the stuff they want because the first thing they had does not do all what they do, and the second either does, or does what the other does not... ... ... Really ? How hard can it be to have a good Command Line Interface ?

                @critialcloudkicker There's "good enough", which is stock bash, and there's "Good", which is something you've selected and tweaked to your personal habits. zsh+antigen is that shell for me.
