I'm someone looking for experimentation, so I'm interested in how much macOS's terminal overlaps with Linux, especially in scripting and system administration. How much does having z-shell (zsh) as default provide an advantage? Or what methods are people trying to integrate some of Linux's tools into macOS? Have people tried alternative shells (e.g., fish, bash)? What should people who want a Linux-like terminal experience on macOS pay attention to?
Is it possible to get a Linux-like terminal experience on macOS?

macOS's Terminal is largely BSD-based since it doesn't actually run on the Linux kernel, but it still offers a functional experience with zsh as the default shell. So, are you planning to spend more time on scripting or system administration?
