How To Install xs on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install xs on Fedora 34.
What is xs
Xs is a cleanly-designed shell with functional programming. It is based off the source-code for the es project, which was in the public domain. Currently, the changes in xs can also be considered to be in the public domain. Most of the xs source code remains untouched from es. The primary authors of that shell can be found in that source code, currently located at since es-0.9-beta1 are all parts of xs and have been written by Frederic Koehler.
