With a heavy heart I join the rest of the zsh discussion because these aren’t even factual: > You can do a lot of advanced things with bash, and customize it to do even more, but ZSH allows you to do even more.

Zsh isn’t posix compatible? Citation needed? Also what can bash do that zsh can’t? Genuinely curious, after using both for years.

Maybe they mean this

"Zsh is able to emulate POSIX shells, but its default mode is not POSIX compatible, either."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you elaborate why someone shouldn't use it as a daily driver? I have used Linux for a decade now and I just got a friend interested in it and his pick was Kali because he was interested in learning about security stuff. I took a quick look at it and saw that it was debian based and XFCE is my favourite desktop environment so I figured he'd be alright with it.

It used to be that Kali would start a ton of services at boot and open those ports up to the LAN interface. Stuff like Postgresql that you probably don't want to expose any wider than localhost. It also defaulted to running as a root user for everything, but they recently changed that.

Hmm I don't remember that ever being true. Items like Postgress would listen on localhost only. No services outside of DHCP were even enabled by default going all the way back to BackTrack.
