Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

This was whey left over from making yogurt? Did you just do this for the challenge, or was the end result better?

I use fish because I have better things to do than tweak my shell configuration and debug shell plugins.

When I tried oh-my-zsh and prezto (I think?) they came with tons of plugins that performed badly and made it hard to get things done (specifically, they ran git status synchronously on every new prompt, which does not work well in a moderately large repo). Fish had similar features but wasn’t horribly slow, so I use it.

What is the value of shipping a laptop with Linux when the user can easily load their distribution of choice? I had an Ubuntu certified laptop from Dell in 2015, I quickly replaced it with fedora, which was much more stable on the hardware.
