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?
Couldn't you just set it as the default for your user using chsh?
This isn't about using it as a login shell. Describing this as "my default shell" is a very bad description.
This is actually about setting dash as the system /bin/sh implementation.
Indeed, poor choice of words, sorry for the confusion, however in the link I provided in my original email [1] it was clear in what sense I meant it to be a default. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dash#Use_DASH_as_/bin/sh
