So I’m currently using zsh + oh my zsh, and have been using it for some years now. It’s good, it has amazing features (via plugins) and overall I’m happy with it. But lately it has become laggy for me (probably because of plugins) and I want to see if there’s any other shell with features like ZSH but faster and lighter?

I’ve tried Fish, and usually install it on my servers, but it’s not POSIX compliant so learning what commands actually do what in Fish seems like a hassle.

I’ve heard of Oilshell, Yash, Nushell but haven’t tried any of them.

What is your setup for your interactive shell?

    It’s not POSIX either, but I’ll answer your closing question: My current shell of preference is Nushell.

      Does it need to be POSIX? Isn’t that only for compatibility with really old Unix systems.

        Yeah. But OP specifically mentioned them disliking Fish because it’s not POSIX.
