for me tiling WMs are great for full screen and/or terminal based workflows. to me they’re more about minimizing UI clutter and facilitating a mostly keyboard based interface.

i used fish as a login shell for years before i switched to nushell. it’s not super risky. bash is just as capable of having a system breaking config. worst case login as root with a minimal bash config and fix it up from there. if that’s fucked you need a rescue ISO.

doesn’t help that modern tools like lazy.nvim, etc make alternative hosting a barrier to entry. and a GitHub mirror is a tedious half measure.
