Hey Jow Forums, what terminal shell do you use and why?

The emulator runs bash.

fish

Zsh

Why would I use a terminal emulator in the Year of the Lord 2018? I use the Emacs Shell, because Emacs buffers are far superior to retarded shitware that emulate age old terminals. (inb4 some retard cries about how eshell does not run their shitty curses programs).

zsh then, i like the idea of fish, but i prefer to have something posix compliant.

Too stupid for anything other than bash

fish

Mys

GNU bash

guake with bash

Konsole. Just werks and it's already there when using KDE

are you stupid

>all these newfags don't know the difference between a shell and an emulator
nu-Jow Forums everybody

fish is the only correct answer unless you have severe autism

Konsole with Bash. It's the default and standard shell, it's compatible, it's well documented, and it just works.

/bin/ksh with /usr/openwin/cmdtool.

>and it just works.
It's also the slowest and bloated.

terminal.app
just works

oh, shell. outdated bash lmao

zsh

zsh
mainly due to non-default config options that MAY be available in other shells, but I have working in zsh already
e.g. more aggressive saving/loading of shell history so you don't "lose" history the way you do in bash. I can ctrl-r reverse search in one shell and find something I just did in another one
also lazy tab-complete so I can type blah/blah/blah with partial directory names, either case, and sometimes even basic typos and still tab complete to the proper full path

To be fair, I know the difference and still felt I was taking a gamble when replying to this thread due to the possibility of OP himself using the wrong term for what he was really asking. The fact that he added "terminal" instead of just asking about shells kind of threw me off. I guess correctly what he meant, but I wouldn't have been surprised if I had not guessed correctly.

Konsole is super fast, as for bloated, don't run it on a Pi, anything above that won't have ANY issues running it

zsh w/ tmux, urxvt as emulator

I like the smart argument and option competition in zsh

if you had difficulty with this the rest of your time with linux is probably not a lot of fun desu

zsh, because why not

Xterm because it's almost ubiquitous

with bash of course

I was referring to bash.

Konsole ist seit Verluste of terrible color management and "Ctrl+shift" bullshit.

Perhaps OP shouldn't have used the confused "terminal shell" term.

Here's what I mean about the color.
Lower one is correct.

Probably, but if you mean because I mentioned an emular and not a shell, I did that because I noticed others had too and assumed that that's what OP meant. So it's more that I assumed OP was a bit dumb and using the terms incorrectly, which I guess could be a dumb assumption to make.
Linux has been pretty great, actually.

>Starts a thread by referring to shells as "terminal shells" for some fucking reason
>gets absolutely ass-blasted when people talk about terminal emulators
What a fun episode LMBO

Do you always leave the non-printing characters on?

Spaces only for python, tabs for everything.

Bash, because I'm not a pretentious, insufferable, shell hipster snowflake poser ricer faggot.
gnome-terminal because it came with my distro. It's a terminal emulator for fuck's sake. Who gives a fuck?
Does it need to slowly scroll down from the top of the screen when I press F-12 or some gay brainlet shit?
Fuck off. If you don't fucking like it, fuck off to the "friendly" shell emulator thread. Faggots.

>Using slow and inconvenient software
>Because it came with the system
Hope you are using Internet Explorer at work.

Absolutely based. Let's breed.

rc
better syntax, better speed, better size, better complexity. if you use zsh, bash or fish you're not human

The ctrl+shift bullshit can be changed, in fact there's a ton of customizable keybinds for Konsole, including SIGKILL or notifying the user when there's activity or a longer period of silence on the terminal.

Urxvt because perl scripts and works with ranger well

No color scheme by default, doesn't play well with quotes. Example:

Bash
echo "Isn't it just C syntax?"

rc
echo 'Isn''t it just C syntax?"

The rc version just looks stupid and isn't intuitive.

*
echo 'Isn''t it just C syntax?'

Correction, hit the wrong key. It's still stupid.

>No color scheme by default
I pity you for needing/liking this.

>can't tell diff she'll vs terminal
cmd
Microsoft Windows 10.x.x whatever

color scheme is bloat
>echo "Isn't it just C syntax?"
It's also valid in rc. It prints the ", but that's more intuitive than having both " and ' doing different things

Doesn't work on my installation of rc, it just hangs. When I do it like this echo 'Isn''t just C syntax?', it actually works.

Bash, because it's the default.
Sometimes I start fish when I want maximum comfiness, but I never set it as a login shell because no posix shell = /etc/default is ignored = many programs won't work.

my nigger.

Found the pretentious, insufferable, shell hipster snowflake poser ricer faggot.

fish with oh-my-fish while in Konsole, but bash for everything else

My command interpreter is dash, and my shell is bash. Your's would be too, if you hadn't fucked up your system thinking you were being smart.

>every OS is leeeenuuucks.

Ebin

Fish is literally easier than bash

Basic man here, I use bash. It gets the job done nicely.

bash because it's de facto standard.
and vi mode in bash is bretty good

Not him but I actually do.

First result.

bash on iterm2
bunch a tmux sessions

started using konsole since i'm on kde right now.
it's alright, just kinda boring.

whoops didn't read OP right. it is bash, with a single profile for fish setup.

BASH is the industry standard for a reason.

Fish.
It's pretty, functional, and requires 0 changes for my perfect setup.

what is a purpose of writing your own shell ?

Bash. Terminal - Tilda.
TILDA MASTERRACE.

Fish, sane defaults and great features
No it's not bloated

almost never stick with the defaults so never got why they mattered.
what distro do you guys use, just a bit curious.

I'm also using eshell at the moment. I'm also trying out haskell-emacs and see if i'm confortable with shelly scripts, so I would use haskell functions instead of elisp in eshell. Still learning though.

Not them, but fish on void.
You can make zsh act like fish, but it will start very slowly.

same, first one i ever saw with autocomplete

>For scripts, I use an irrelevant and shitty shell that's worse than the hyper commonly available bash

I bet have you morons don't even know how to write good shell scripts.

Reddit gold. It's a waste of time otherwise to normal people

Bash, because it's the shell I script in, and can write short scrips in the terminal with familiarity. Fish doesn't even have && and || operators, making code non-portable. Zsh is a meme.

Super scientific. I like the part where the micro benchmark wasn't posted or explained if the shells were warmed up first since bash and zsh, being drastically more featureful have a slight delay even when ran in scripting mode.
