Add /bin/bash to avoid unnecessary pain

[jonringer]

IIRC, /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env were added due to POSIX compliance.

Is there an argument against having /bin/bash that I’m not thinking of? It seems like dogmatism over pragmatism, but perhaps there’s a previous discussion that I did not find with a search.

Pretty dogmatic, but it’s a form of global system state. Could have issues with bash_4 vs bash_5, etc. Ultimately, most programs shouldn’t assume filepaths (Yes, I’m aware shebangs needs an absolute path).

Edit: is there any reason not to do sudo ln -s /run/current-system/sw/bin/bash /bin/bash ?

Not sure how persistent this is with nixos-rebuild.

If you want a quick hack, you could always do nix-shell -p steam; steam-run <prog>
