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.

Performance has left the chat.
Performance of what, zsh? C ain't good enough anymore??
I ditched ZSH a long time ago because it wasn't snappy. From what I remember, things like autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc were written in ZSH and not build in. In something like Fish it is build in and it felt much faster to me.
Yes, performance of zsh. Idk if it's a bug, a language issue or just a downside of having more features but it is slower than bash
It's not because of features, since fish has tons of stuff as well and is super snappy. Someone pointed out most of those extra features are implemented in zsh itself, rather than in C, like core features.
If you want snappy, replace your terminal instead. Kitty is probably as fast as they get
