But this is "Modern".
The problem I see with these "modern" command replacements is 1) muscle memory and 2) I have to log into some old systems that simply will not have anything this "modern".
- balls187 9y agoSure, but it's easy enough to fall back after you get the command error. If you want, you can alias it to `ls` so you don't lose muscle memory.
- Karunamon 9y agoAn alias in your favorite shell's .rc file solves the first problem. Better yet, you can throw it behind a test block to ensure you never get a command not found error: test -f /usr/bin/exa && alias ls='/usr/bin/exa' The second problem is solved by configuration management tools pushing out your desired tools to your entire environment.
- mmirate 9y ago> configuration management tools Which work well until your "entire environment" is some new-fangled ARM/SuperH/(etc.) board, and your configuration management tool is x86_64-only and/or not-in-the-repo of the only distro specialized enough to support that new-fangled board.
