mksh as /bin/sh #2763

Open berolinux opened 2 years ago

berolinux commented 2 years ago

Bash is good, but slow -- some (mostly Debian derived) distros have switched to dash for performance reasons, but dash is not really usable (no command line editing, no here string, etc.) mksh is a good compromise, it's perfectly usable even as an interactive shell, slightly less feature rich than bash (which of course can still be available), and slightly slower than dash.

mksh is ready to act as /bin/sh :) I can toggle this to on.
