Modern Linux Tools vs. Unix Classics: Which Would I Choose?
> I too can never remember jq syntax when I need to. I usually just end up writing a Python script
Same here! That's why for small things I made pyxargs [1] to use python in the shell. In another thread I also just learned of pyp [2] which I haven't tried yet but looks like it'd be even better for this use case.

Alternative Shells
I personally use fish, but mostly for the out of the box auto completions and highlighting, I don't use it for actual scripting, nor have it set as the login shell due to the 2nd reason you mentioned.
I mostly use python as well, and for some short commands I made pyxargs [1] which lets you run python code on stdin, or a walk of your current directory.

Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
pyxargs --py "print('{}') if os.path.ismount('{}') else ''" | pyxargs fusermount -u {}
My primary use case was using this with ffmpeg due to the encoding problem with xargs [2].
It can also run commands in parallel using a terminal multiplexer so outputs don't get mixed up or if they require user input.

The shell history autocomplete seems to be better than the one that comes with Oh My Zsh.

Atuin – Magical Shell History
Atuin is lovely, although I found some of its defaults pretty annoying until I changed them:
- It turns out I basically never want fuzzy search through my command history, and certainly not by default. I gave it a try for a couple weeks but it was very frustrating to be searching for a particular command, type in the exact prefix, and have the thing I was looking for hidden among hundreds of irrelevant entries. Solution: search_mode = "fulltext" in Atuin's config.toml
- Having a full screen pop-up appear whenever I hit up was really jarring, especially since I have a habit of hitting up a few times when I'm at the command line thinking of what I need to do next, to sort of refresh my memory on what I was just doing; the popup very effectively destroyed that chain of thought. Solution: eval "$(atuin init bash --disable-up-arrow)" in .bashrc
These are pretty minor issues and it's possible my preferences are just different from most!
Atuin now works really nicely for me. My only outstanding issues are:
- Under mosh the UI ends up corrupting the screen; apparently this is really more of a mosh bug (no alternate screen support) and you can work around it by having tmux/screen running: https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/issues/1324
- I still don't have a great model in my head of how sync works and find myself occasionally force-syncing across a few systems until I convince myself everything is in the same state.
- It would be nice to have some kind of settings sync so I don't have to make the config changes mentioned above on 10 different systems. Surprisingly I don't see a feature request for this yet so maybe I'll go open one...
Anyway I don't want these issues to stop people from trying Atuin – it's a really nice piece of software. I almost never make changes to the default environment so I consider it a testament to how useful it is that I've added it to all the systems I use regularly!
