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.

I must have died and gone to heaven [nushell] (lemmy.ml)

I've been trying nushell and words fail me. It's like it was made for actual humans to use! 🤯 🤯 🤯

It even repeats the column headers at the end of the table if the output takes more than your screen...

Trying to think of how to do the same thing with awk/grep/sort/whatever is giving me a headache. Actually just thinking about awk is giving me a headache. I think I might be allergic.

I'm really curious, what's your favorite shell? Have you tried other shells than your distro's default one? Are you an awk wizard or do you run away very fast whenever it's mentioned?

Nushell is great, I should use it again. Gave up on it after I wrote a thing for converting fish completions to their autocomplete system for it and their internal autocomplete didn't perform anywhere nearly adequately.

I've used nushell for several months, and it really is an amazing shell

It feels more like an actual language than arcane runes, and I can easily makes chains and pipelines and things that would be difficult in bash

Additionally, it makes a pretty good scripting language

So you drive daily with nushell and then script in bash for portability?

Sounds not bad actually...

Formatting doesn't like my input for some reason so I am just going to shorten it to ls -ltc | grep '>'.
