    They switched to bash in 2003; in Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2.x it was tcsh.

    I liked tcsh. It was my favourite shell.

      He's an anti-woke crusader and bigot. A large chunk (probably most) of his "content" is actually about that.

      ::: spoiler CW all sorts of bigotry
      "Best Alternatives to Woke Software", "Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork", lots of shit like that.

      He loves talking about so-called "reverse racism", he thinks white people are oppressed in US tech.

      Here's a recent one:

      https://lunduke.substack.com/p/meta-ending-del-ending-fact-checking

      They [Meta] are allowing criticism of LGTBQ+blublublub issues, including *snicker* the statement that gay people are mentally ill [...] and they're allowing vaccine skepticism on the platform [...] and it is, I'm not gonna lie, mildly hilarious.

      Wow. I thought a couple of his old Linux Sucks talks were kind of funny, but never knew anything about him personally. Kind of sad to learn he's an asshole.

        They probably are thinking of the FreeBSD stuff in macOS.

        yeah right, i thought the macos/ios started with a fork of one of the BSDs, which might get confused with linux

          It is now, but it was bash before.

          But in any case once you start doing anything remotely advanced you’ll find the individual command line utilities are wildly different between macOS and Linux. They seem (are?) much closer to FreeBSD than GNU utilities.

            Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

            You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

            Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

            Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.

                    Lmfao. My fucking lead was arguing with me the other day how Linux is Unix. I just said ok after I saw that it was going nowhere.

                      Nope. I don't really argue much at work. It's a place where I do my job, get paid and get the fuck out. I only argue when they ask for something more than I'm supposed to do/unreasonable. Other than that, fuck all. lol
