i’m all about oh-my-zsh. I mostly like it because it loads a random theme every time you run source ~/.zshrc, so you get exposed to a lot of different themes, so you can pick one that looks really nice. The one I’ve gone with was the most minimalist theme I could find. export ZSH_THEME="miloshadzic"
In my opinion - and yes I know it’s punny - fish also belongs in the “too opinionated” category.
It’s not a bad shell but overall I found it to be quite reluctant to work the way you want it, if that isn’t the way the developer meant it to be used. Which is fine, but again, it means that fish is opinionated.
That sounds quite good, actually. I mean, I have a gazillion bash scripts, but I can keep them. I think I don’t care about posix, or whatever it’s called, for my day-to-day navigating the shell.
OMZ is overrated. It’s too much code for too little effect when most of the plugins boil down to aliases and prompt themes, and all you have to do is source them in your .zshrc anyway.
I am by no means saying that the plugins and themes are useless. I’m saying that OMZ is unnecessary.
zsh autocomplete and color defaults were presumably set up by an lsd fan

antidote with the right plugins + starship with the right prompt builder beats anything.
Fish + starship 🤌

I tried to learn it, but failed. Looks like I’d love to use both, but I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?
It might be easiest to work backwards with starship, see how it integrates with fish then see how to run fish.
Then install fish, add starship to it.
99% of my usage is around how it helps me navigate the terminal, I use bash for all my scripts lmao

the only thing i like about oh-my-zsh is the random themes, i seriously have no idea what else it does
