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?
I don't think many people will want to use dash as interactive shell. It's more about running shell scripts with a #!/bin/sh shebang. It is still possible to do that system wide of course, with a symlink in /usr/local/bin . The question whether it makes sense as default /bin/sh on Arch Linux remains valid though. I personally would be positive towards that change. -- Maarten
