topgrade VS powerlevel10k

I don't understand why more people aren't aware of this: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade -I use it for Linux and Windows.

To upgrade all at once I use topgrade.

For what its; worth, I love me some topgrade for keeping my stuff fresh.

$ topgrade Due to a design issue with notify-send it could be that topgrade hangs when it's finished. If this is the case on your system add the --skip-notify flag to the topgrade command or set skip_notify = true in the config file. If you don't want this message to appear any longer set display_preamble = false in the config file.

The ncurses tui is nice, maybe you can make a wrapper with ideas from topgrade and/or Wingetui

You might want to take a look at https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade

Consider adding topgrade. Yeah, I know gnome-software is supposed to be the preferred way now, but I'd still rather update my system from the command line and topgrade will update everything.

Once you have it installations, you can keep it up-to-date with https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade

That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

I used ohmyzsh with powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k[0] for years though recently i've settled on fish [1]

[0] https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

I had just gone through a fun tutorial for setting up oh-my-zsh with a nice color scheme from iterm2colorschemes.com and a decent prompt and I was wondering: can I make my oblique strategy look nice? how can you actually use the colors from your scheme in the output in your cli?

A more robust way to do this would be to add simple wrappers that clone any external Zsh plugins you use regularly and store them in your own $ZSH_CUSTOM. For example, you say you like Powerlevel10k, so make that an OMZ plugin:

Looks like PowerLevel10 theme for Zsh shell

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

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.

To build upon that concept, you can even have your shell prompt display a symbol if you have a backgrounded job. I use https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k and the background_jobs handles it for me.

I also use PowerLevel10k. Themes up your zsh to make it look nice, pretty customisable.
