What is the main shell that comes with Arch linux?



I would bet it's Bash but I didn't find an answer neither in the Arch Linux Wiki article, nor in the Arch Linux homepage.



People might say "just install and execute echo $SHELL to output the shell's name" but I'm in a place with quite lousy WI-FI and can't do so.

  • No shell "comes with Arch": you choose it when you install. Bash is the most popular, but lots of people use Zsh because that is the shell on the ISO.
