From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oil Shell, now OSH, intends to be a drop-in replacement bash for bash, aiming for 100% comparability while modernizing the code base.

I have been aware of the project for a while it might be time to try it out.

OSH is the most bash-compatible shell, by a mile. We don't implement every last quirk and bug, but it still runs unmodified shell scripts

I Wonder if this includes Zsh 🤔
