I’ve never tried anything other than the ol’ reliable bash (with fancy bash prompt to make it look pretty), because none of the alternatives ever really appealed to me.

Back when I used KISS Linux I used ash (symlink to sh) but now that I moved to Fedora I use bash.
KISS Linux looks fascinating. What do you think of it?
It’s amazing. The thing I most liked from it was the local repos and the build instructions, they were so simple compared to the build instructions of other distros (like Gentoo or Alpine) that I actually made some for packages I used, like GLFW.
It’s also really minimalist, which allows you to know your system from back to front easily. My biggest problem with it was the low package count (due to the low number of users, since it’s a really niche distro, that’s expected to be fair.) and that sometimes packages failed to build (also due to the low number of users.)
I totally recommend it if you are into minimalism, building your own stuff and customization. You can also check the packages in the kisscommunity page, the IRC channel is very helpful too!
I am glad to hear such a positive report! It looks like a great distro, so I’ll try it out and see if it works for me :)
