Favorite Linux Prompts? (self.linux)

I was curious as to what prompts people find are the best for development? I'm looking for a change from the generic debian:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Which yields:

dell-xps-13@pop-os:~$

Personally, I like starship, and how it's consistent across different shells. I mostly use defaults, but with line break before command.

I wasn't aware of starship. It looks great and even supports Powershell! Do you have any font recommendations to go along with it?

I use Fira Code, but any font patched with Nerd Fonts will do.
