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.

What has been your experience with Atuin? Is it something worth using? (lemm.ee)

For context Atuin (Github) is a shell history replacement that apparently provides a lot of extra functionality.

Has anyone used it? Im thinking of switching to it but Im worried about its impact on performance and if its worth it.

It's better than any built-in history tools (including zsh and fish) and I find the sync feature very useful. It's definitely saved me time in having to re-find old commands I used once. Probably the second best quality-of-life tool for the shell after zoxide (a brilliant cd replacement).
