    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.

            I liked tcsh. It was my favourite shell.

              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
