ZSH isn't GPL which may be important in the smaller non-Linux part of UNIX-like world. I would very much like to see ZSH in FreeBSD's base system already.
BTW, forced how?
- cyberpunk 4y agoThere was a MacOS update that set everyone’s shell to zsh instead of the default (ancient) bash. Hardly insurmountable, but the change was a “forced” part of the upgrade.
- hericium 4y agoChanging users' default shell is not the same as forcing it on users. You can chpass(1) and set a different shell. I'm not too comfortable playing devil's advocate here as Apple really does force shitty changes on users. But this isn't one of those cases.
