fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell
I went through the initial config wizard of zsh exactly once, almost a decade ago[1]. It took me maybe 5-10 minutes, and even though I don't fully understand what each command means, I haven't modified it in all this time, and it works well. I really don't think this was any significant waste of time or tedious task - I was just as free to simply ignore it.
Most of the remainder of my zsh config are prompt utilities and other things I've added over the years. I don't use or really need any plugins, though if I needed, last time I tried zplug it was really easy to set up and use.

Deeply scammy looking zsh plugin manager called "zi"
I don’t use zsh plugin managers myself, but it looks like zinit already had the ability to update itself. Why on earth replace a working solution with a broken one? zi won’t be able to load plugins when the computer is offline for no good legitimate reason that I can possibly think of.

fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell
Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.
BUT...
After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.
1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)
2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...
3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...
4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions
6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab
7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.
I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

Oh-my-zsh without oh-my-zsh?
You can use a plugin manager that supports oh-my-zsh plugins and libraries such as zinit (my personal favorite). You can also take a look at my personal project zunder-zsh.

Current state of plugin managers
If you want everything-and-the-kitchen-sink and don't mind that the original author bailed on the project in a way that was destructive to the Zsh community, then zinit is still around

Brew for plugins or clone the repo manually...

Zinit: Really quick plugin manager that loads multiple plugins via lazy loading, in parallel etc. It compiles the plugins upon installation.

You should try zinit

They say KDE is heavy on the resources but in my experience it's one of the most lightweight dekstop enviorenments. These are not virtual machines and I installed all on the same disk.
Yeah. My setup is basically zinit with p10k and it's instant even on an old phone on Termux.
