Shell

In terms of shell, there are usually 3 primary choices

• Bash

• Zsh

• Fish

I have personally used Bash a little bit, and then discovered and used Zsh and never looked back. I chose to use Zsh because of its incredible customisability and ability to use 3rd party plugins based on what you desire using the power of oh-my-zsh. Some of my favourite plugins include

• zsh-autosuggestions - which suggests commands based on history and completions.

• zsh-syntax-highlighting - which colours your commands, making it easy to check for syntax errors.

In terms of Zsh theming, I recommend the recent powerlevel10k. It is incredibly fast and feature-rich (it expands from powerlevel9k), and is so easy to setup. In the past, I have used powerlevel9k, spaceship.
