    #!/bin/bash doesn’t work on NixOS since bash is in the nix store somewhere, #!/usr/bin/env bash resolves the correct location regardless of where bash is

      Are there any distos with /usr/bin/env in a different spot? I still believe that’s the best approach for getting bash.

          I do think a simple symlink is superior to a tool parsing stuff. A shame POSIX choose this approach.

          Still the issue that a posix shell can be on a non-posix system and vice versa. And certificates versus used practice. Btw, isn’t there only one posix certified Linux distro? Was it Suse?
