Hi all I have a quick question. Is it better for my zsh shell to be in /usr/bin/zsh or /bin/zsh. I remember reading that one of them would mess up the whole system since zsh is not posix compliant. I believe that szh shouldn’t be set as the root shell. I now have it in /usr/bin/zsh, is that good? So now when I drop into a root shell I don’t get they autocompletion feature that zsh has. I’d also lose that fancy theme. Does that mean my root shell is still bash? Thanks

    For the first question, are you using a package manager? If so, I’d say leave it alone. For the second question, your root will likely still be bash unless you changed it yourself.

      I use endeavour OS and jump between yay and pacman. I do believe that my root shell is still bash, too, since no trace of zsh is there

        In that case leave the files alone for where they’re located.

        You could install sudo instead of jumping into a root shell every time you need to do root privileged tasks.
