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
/bin
is symlinked to/usr/bin
, so it doesn’t matter.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.
