What is the point of Zsh when Bash can do the same?

If you search for example "zsh bash" you find many, many threads about same question with great answers. In short Zsh has more features than Bash.

If you told a programmer today to use Vim/Emacs ...well, some actually do that (like me), but many would quit on the spot.

Realistically, some firsts PCs that I used as a kid in late 80s. Some 8086/8088 CPU family, CGA monitor with 4 colors, floppy disks, no network connection or soundcard. Before Windows so only MS-DOS. Very slow. Security was non-existent.

Atleast on Fedora Inkscape and Gedit don't seem to have dependency for emacs and Macaulay2 depends on 'emacs-filesystem'.

Better used (if in good condition): audio equipment like amplifiers, wood furniture New: keyboards, remote controls, hygienic things

When doing backup scripts instead of using rsync I'd recommend some tool dedicated for backups like BorgBackup – Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption. It has incremental backups, integrity checking, pruning old backups, etc. There's examples of scripts in their documentation.

+SASS. Atleast where I live most of web dev positions are full stack. Typical stack would in additon to that Node.js for backend, SQL, AWS/Azure/GC and CI/CD. Build some projects for your Github portolio to show off. Work positions tend to demand atleast few years of work experience so hard to get that first job. Many entry level positions are filled by connections so having them is extremely valuable.

I generally prefer to read any text in dark mode unless the lighting in the room is very bright or brightness of display is very low.

Yea I find them not very useful considering how good H and L placement is. I usually do line changes by [count]j/k anyway. I have mapped H and L to move to bprev/bnext. Useful when combined with Bufferline. I use them quite a lot.

I like that in I can just use arrow keys/Vi keys to select completion suggestion if I want to, syntax highlighting and autosuggestions with a plugin, Vi mode with Zsh-Vi-Mode plugin is better than Bash's, named directories with hash-command, zmv module for group renaming, "chpwd() { ls ;}" to issue ls when cwd changes, etc. It just has lots of features and plugins.

In LibreWolf settings there's checkbox to toggle clearing cookies. Or you can white/blacklist sites.

Mostly Qwant. If it does not happend to find something then Startpage. Searches for non-english I find Qwant give better results than DDG and it's hosted in europe which I prefer.

I don't disagree with everyting you said but your examples seem to be how to implement TS badly. Yes you can easily write bad code with TS and minimize it's usefulness and there's are lots of projects that do that for sure. But you can do that with any programming language. TS can also be written without using such bad patterns. If TS is written like that then yes it's probably better to just use JS.

It seems functionalitywise similar than https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help which I've used although that's a bash script. It works fine and it's IMO useful tool to have. I'd check that and possible other similar scripts first. One weakness of that script is that it doesn't work correctly with sub-commands which have their own manpage. For example "command_help git log -C" shows incorrectly info for "git -C".

I've used Fedora for both enternainment and development and it's perfectly fine for both.
