Hi all I have a quick question. Is it better for my zsh shell to be in /usr/bin/zsh or /bin/zsh. I remember reading that one of them would mess up the whole system since zsh is not posix compliant. I believe that szh shouldn’t be set as the root shell. I now have it in /usr/bin/zsh, is that good? So now when I drop into a root shell I don’t get they autocompletion feature that zsh has. I’d also lose that fancy theme. Does that mean my root shell is still bash? Thanks
While this is true for most linux distributions, it’s not true for all and there are other POSIX compliant OSs which are not linux at all:
/ # grep -i pretty /etc/*-release /etc/os-release:PRETTY_NAME="Alpine Linux v3.18" / # ls -ld /bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 862 Aug 7 13:09 /bin / #As you can see, /bin is not a symlink there.
