Some have better ux, some support more platforms out of the box. I don't find it a good idea trying to replace everything though.

I only tend to replace if all of those are met:

  • there are neat additional features or a performance gain that's noticeable in regular use
  • there is some maintenance history
  • It doesn't completely break my workflow.

So far, only things I've actually replaced are aliasing ls to exa/eza, and switched to ripgrep for most of my uses of grep.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
