I have few things to say.

  • firstly I might be trippin but does your sysfetch say you have 17.4 Gb of RAM? HOW?
  • also I see you’re using bash. at this point you might as well try zsh with omz.
  • and why VScode when already you are using neovim (or other terminal code editor)? If you reeeally need the ecosystem try Codium. I doesn’t have all the exstenaions but if it has the one you need it is less bloated vscode (and gentoo users hate bloat)

also the setup is nice ig

I LOVE fish!

Using bash is saner than any ZSH config out there, fish on the other hand is peak

@alsaaas @Gwen I've actually looked a bit into fish before, but didn't switch

does the lack of posix compliance not cause issues in practice? like, has it ever broke some script you wanted to run?

Show threadалсааас [she/her]Nov 26

It’s it’s own language, but it doesn’t break existing e.g. bash scripts because you declare them to be bash with #!/bin/bash in the first line right? So your shell doesn’t matter.

You just shouldn’t set it as your login shell because of that, they have tutorials on that on their website and the Arch wiki explains it too

Uh, check zsh4humans. It is basically fish, but with powerlevel10k terminal skin which is blazing fast.

Thanks, but I like my sane default Rust shell and as a scripting lang, fish is also really nice

+1 for scripting with fish. Reduced the LOC in my scripts collection by probably 50%, while increasing legibility by probably at least 100%. Absolute beast of a lang.
