Today I set dash as my default shell [1] on two PCs. We will see if I get into trouble.
This question was asked years ago but maybe good to ask again. Could dash be made the default shell in Arch? I did some simple benchmarks and dash is much faster than bash, moreover being far smaller there is less chance of bugs. A possible issue is bashisms, however Ubuntu has been using dash as default for 14 years and Debian also for several years so hopefully most scripts have had bashisms removed by upstreams. What do you think? [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dash#Use_DASH_as_/bin/sh
