From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi. I've been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It's really massive, with TONS of options. I've been digging through for a few hours already, and it's absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without actually programming anything. I was wondering what other people are using. So my questions are:

Do you customize your shell prompt?
If yes, do you use some framework or pre-made theme, or do you just configure it the vanilla way in your bashrc/zshrc/...
How is your experiences with it so far?
Share screenshot of your prompts, please (Sadly, my prompt is currently half done, so I can't really share it)

Yes! I use it all the time. No idea why it's not more popular
