    Ubuntu by default comes with the bash shell. Bash is great but I personally find it harder to customize. That is why I use Z shell, more commonly known as zsh. To manage my zsh configuration, I use Oh My Zsh. It has a huge community and makes it trivial to install and use plugins.

    I use Ubuntu, it's the default distribution that is installed with WSL. Ubuntu is really simple to use and has a huge community so getting support is very easy. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to start using Linux and get familiar with basic Linux commands.

    I use Starship for my prompt and it is AMAZING. Written in Rust, Starship is a minimal, highly customizable and super fast prompt. The default look of it is really good but literally every little detail is customizable to your liking. To install Starship refer to these docs.

    A safe, concurrent, practical language

    You might have seen in some of the screenshots that I just have to run z license-generator to jump to that directory. That is zoxide. Also written in Rust, it's a smarted cd command that remembers which directories you visit frequently, so you can jump to those directories with just one command.

    I had been using VSCode as my code editor since the first day I started learning programming, but recently I have switched to Neovim. It is a modern version of Vim.

  6. The friendly interactive shell.

    • Open Source
    I used to use fish which is also a great shell. It has very sensible defaults and comes with a lot of cool features like autosuggestions, tab completions, etc. Out of the box without the need to set up anything. The only problem with fish is that it is not POSIX-compliant. POSIX is a set of standards that define how to develop programs for UNIX based operating systems. So in fish, things like bash scripts do not work. They have their own scripting language.
