Thanks so much for your answers [member=2]Jerry[/member] and [member=5916]trinidad[/member] . I'm thinking carefully on this. OK then Jerry, if I try it, I will either try it on VM, or I will back up my current files on USB so that if my system breaks I will be able to do a fresh install of LL 4.0 without losing any important data. (I'm backing up my and the other user files as we speak!)
Trinidad - I read the article you recommended. In particular, I noticed that it said "The more advanced shells tend to take up extra CPU, since they work in cbreak mode". This concerned me a little, so I'm thinking about whether I want to try it out or not. If I do, I would not make it a login shell, which I realize is risky. It was certainly helpful to get this background. Thank you.
I also started reading about the fish shell, which is a newer shell that I hadn't heard of before. From what I see from its website https://fishshell.com/ it looks pretty good. It's on Synaptic as well. I'm not installing anything yet, I'm thinking about the ramifications. Thanks again Jerry and Trinidad for this helpful advice.

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