From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fish is the cachyos default, I used oh my zsh too, I honestly cant tell a difference as a non dev end user

I tried fish before switching to zsh because it has much better compatibility with bash, and I think bash/zsh handles a lot of things like aliases way better. I'm also on CachyOS and the default zsh config with ohmyzsh and powerline10k it comes with is great.
