  • I switched to zsh at a time where completion for commands parameters except file paths in bash wasn’t really a thing, you could add some with a script, but they didn’t work well. I’m sure the situation has improved by now, but someone told me recently, there are still no descriptions for the completions. I find it very helpful and it saves me opening a man page a lot of times. For example, typing grep -<Tab> gives me this: 8167

    And now I’m so used to many little features (mostly around the syntax) that wouldn’t be a reason to switch on their own, that I find bash cumbersome to use.



  • I’m not sure if supports encryption though, which is probably where a dedicated server would be useful.

    Well, ideally you encrypt your data before transferring, so the provider never sees your data. I’m using a storagebox to backup btrfs incremental snapshots (using btrbk) and just AES encrypt them locally before sending them over, so I don’t care if the storagebox itself is encrypted.
