I noticed this being added a few weeks ago:

Anyone knows how supported is this / when is it going to get switched on by default?
It is as supported as anthing else in Tumbleweed. Using dash as default doesn't make any sense, this would only mean one more shell beside bash and increasing the system without benefit
One user could use dash because it's significantly faster than bash,
Faster how? Faster execution, or faster loading?
This a page that summarize the benefits of dash: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dash About being faster, there is this thread linked in the page above: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/148035/is-dash-or-some-other-shell-...
The later, can it be noticed in a modern computer with SSD disk? Is it worth it?
I doubt that it would make any noticible difference.
If it is faster loading, is that really so after the first time bash/dash is loaded? Shouldn't the code be cached or reused on each instance?
so having it as default shell will have a faster boot and/or system theorically. In practice the difference is negligible, assuming dash being 1~2s faster at best. -- Cheers / Saludos,
