    I’ve been eyeing nushell but it’s such a departure from posix that it just never sticks. How did you make the switch?

      It is because it departs from POSIX that it is good; I recognize the syntax for some functionality is cumbersome and hard to remember though. There are similarities like command names and piping still…

      I use NixOS and home-manager, so for switching I just

        home-manager.users.yuu = {
          programs.nushell = {
            package = pkgs-update.nushell;
            enable = true;
            configFile.source = ../../config/nushell/config.nu;
            envFile.source = ../../config/nushell/env.nu;  
          };
        };
      

      The config.nu and env.nu is basically the default just with a customized prompt.

      Then in my alacritty.ylm I set shell to the nu binary

      shell:
        program: /etc/profiles/per-user/yuu/bin/nu
      

      Also learned from official resources https://www.nushell.sh/book. When I have doubts, I ask either on Nushell’s GitHub discussions or https://matrix.to/#/#nushell:matrix.org

      And to keep a POSIX shell

      {
        environment = {
          systemPackages = with pkgs; [
            mksh
          ];
      
          sessionVariables = rec {
            TERM = "alacritty";
            TERMINAL = "alacritty";
            SHELL = "${pkgs.mksh}/bin/mksh";
          };
      
        environment.shells = [
          "${pkgs.mksh}/bin/mksh"
        ];
      }
