We wanted to give the community a notice before this switch happens. Which is what we will be doing in 2020.4. If you like what you see, you can set ZSH as your default (replacing bash) by doing chsh -s /bin/zsh. Then all you need to do is switch to ZSH: :~$ zsh So for upgrade users only, make sure to copy the configuration file: :~$ cp /etc/skel/.zshrc ~/ However if you installed an earlier version of Kali Linux and have upgraded to 2020.3, your user will be lacking the default ZSH configuration that we cooked with lots of love.
If you have a fresh default install of Kali Linux 2020.3, you should have ZSH already installed (if not, do sudo apt install -y zsh zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions), ready for a try. This is currently scheduled to be the default shell in 2020.4 (for this 2020.3 release, bash will still be the default). Today, we are announcing the plan to switch over to ZSH shell. Any seasoned Kali user would know the prompt :~$ (or :~# for the older users!/) very well! By default, Kali Linux has always used “bash” (aka “Bourne-Again SHell”) as the default shell, when you open up a terminal or console. To the point where lots of experienced users only use a “GUI” to spin up multiple terminals. We understand that “shells” are a very personal and precious thing to everyone (local or remote!), as that is how most people interact with Kali Linux. As a result, they feel very comfortable around the command line. Most people who use Kali Linux, ( we hope), are very experienced Linux users.
