[Mesa-users] zsh on Mac Catalina?

[amber lauer]

If you were so inclined, you could permanently change your shell to bash
with the following command:

chsh -s /bin/bash

for more information about shells in OSX see here:

https://www.howtogeek.com/444596/how-to-change-the-default-shell-to-bash-in-macos-catalina/

I don't know if one shell is better than any others, but in my experience
bash is the most prevalent. However there is a lot of cross-compatibility
with commands between the various shells, so if you learn one you should be
able to survive in the others
