Dune Shell

A shell🐚 by the beach🏖️!

Dune is a shell designed for powerful scripting. Think of it as an unholy combination of bash and Lisp.

You can do all the normal shell operations like piping, file redirection, and running programs. But, you also have access to a standard library and functional programming abstractions for various programming and sysadmin tasks!

    Might swap Kitty for this on my next install >.>

      But Kitty is ‘just’ the emulator right? It doesn’t have a shell by itself.

        Yeah it is just my terminal emulator and this is specifically a bash+lisp shell. That wouldnt prevent me from attempting to use it the same on my first try like the special boi I am.

          So you can keep Kitty, just swap the shell you have it start by default (probably not a good idea to swap to this system-wide)

            I know just enough about Linux (arch BTW) to get myself in trouble so idk if that would be a good idea.

      Kitty is the terminal emulator, the program that provides an interface. The shell you are using if you haven’t changed anything is probably bash. So you would use duneshell instead of bash, but still in kitty
