Using a MacOS, even with all its flaws it's such a clean experience compared to [Windows].

I agree with that. If you don’t, that’s okay.

The Mac can run MacOS. That was the point of this thread, that MacOS is less junked up than Windows.

Bash isn’t the only shell. Most systems can use zsh or fish or tcsh or whatever shell you prefer, if you like that better than bash. You’re gonna have to run a shell if you want to use the terminal, though, you understand that?

Shell scripts are very good for specific tasks. Don’t use them for tasks that are unsuitable. Use python or go or node or c if those are better for your needs. Use the right tool for the job. But also, learn to understand why the industry has been using shell scripts for decades.
