I’m just wondering if zsh should also be the default shell in the (minimal) Cinnamon edition. I noticed that zsh is installed but not set as the default.
I’m ok with either, I can set it as default myself, but it might be good for consistency sake.
thanks for the continued work on the Cinnamon edition.
I’m confident everyone has backed up their own bash setup, perhaps also many have zsh setups and a few others fish… but for sure I would vote for zsh by default.
I mention this because I remember Linux Mint Cinnamon defaulted to bash… so perhaps that’s why it’s left as default.
It’s sad there’s no data - then you could probably get some information - like a pie chart showing cinnamon users’ shell use. That’d be cool, if everyone using Manjaro allowed a weekly punt of impersonal info.
I think is better to use the installer to let the user to choose to configure the shell what the user needs instead of using the shell X automagically. Better is for the user the option to choose, instead of making a default one.
Mint has had zsh as default in Cinnamon for a while now, as far as I am aware.
My preference though would be to have bash as default, perhaps with a one-time (or easily removable) message letting users know how to switch if so desired, if that could be implemented somehow.
It’s bash.
In that edition as well as in Xfce4 - these are the two I know that to be so from having it in a VM (Cinnamon) and from actively using the Xfce4 variant.
zsh isn’t even installed by default
This is quite likely correct; I was confused though when I logged in to a friend’s machine, who had created an account for me, only to find the prompt (via ssh) to be a zsh one.
I guess she may have set a global preference, or something.
