  2. The friendly interactive shell.

    I used to use Zsh, but I accidentally did `rm -rf ~/` and didn't have a proper backup. So, now I've been using FishShell for a couple of months, it has a fantastic out of the box experience. And for non-interactive usage, I use a POSIX-Compliant shell (dash). Zsh is really good too, but you have to configure it. I always use FishShell on root as I can't be bothered to configure root environment to great extent during installation haha.
