Thanks for the helpful links about scripting, [member=7109]Moltke[/member] .
I use the fish shell https://fishshell.com/ for most of my stuff (I installed it via Synaptic). It's very user-friendly, and has good use of color.
On the command-line, if I type in something that looks syntactically wrong to the shell, it'll highlight it in red, which is helpful to me. It also displays autosuggest on command line without me needing to hit tab or whatever (just hit right arrow to accept autosuggestion, or carry on typing whatever I was typing if I don't want to accept autosuggestion).
I still have bash as my login user shell, but I switch to the fish shell for 99% of whatever I'm doing, including shell scripting. The fish shell just seems more intuitive to me, and the autosuggest feature on command line has definitely resulted in me getting things done a lot faster.

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
