We’ve all been there — diving into the terminal, running commands, building scripts.

But have you ever stopped to think about the shell that’s behind it all?

Not just what it does, but how it works?

This Saturday, I’ll be talking about Linux shell types — the unseen forces shaping how we interact with our systems.

From interactive shells that respond in real-time to non-interactive ones that automate tasks while we sleep — we’ll explore what makes each unique, and why understanding them is key to mastering your environment.

A quick teaser:

• Login shells — what’s the deal with those login prompts?

• Non-login shells — why do these behave differently?

• Interactive vs. non-interactive shells — could your workflow be more efficient with the right one?

If you’ve ever been confused by the subtle differences, you’re not alone.

This Saturday, we’ll break it down — all about optimizing how we interact with the system. 🖥️✨

What’s your go-to shell?

Do you stick with one, or switch based on the task?

P.S. Missed the last post on shell evolution?

There’s still time to dive into the history of Bash, Zsh, Fish, and more.
