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?

Please NO. Bash has been the default, and while there is nothing wrong with a Bourne-again (or Debian Almquist) type shell, it would break more than a decade of setups... If you want Dash, make the change after install. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
