zsh-quickstart-kit VS zgenom

I am unaware of any distro that applies the first three elements (or something similar) that would NOT be considered bloated. Therefore I'll abstain from suggesting any. Instead, I suggest to configure it yourself by simply installing fish, bat and fzf; after which they are configured to work as desired. This can be applied on most distros. For whatever it's worth, if you're lazy like me, perhaps consider the excellently maintained ZSH Quickstart Kit. It utilized Zsh instead of Fish, but perhaps it might be to your liking.

It switched around nine months ago. https://github.com/unixorn/zsh-quickstart-kit/pull/88

If you liked legacy zgen, zgenom picks up where it left off and is simple but featureful

zgenom for zsh plugin manager. I've found this one to be fastest when compared to others since it generates a static init script

Author of Antidote here. I want to start by saying u/MrMarlon did a great job with znap, and it's a solid choice. zcomet and zgenom are also great. For modern Zsh plugin managers that are actively developed, I'd say these are my top 4 picks.

Plugin managers: ZI, Zinit, Zpm, Zgenom, Zgen (after and if the PR will be merged).

Have you had a look at zgenom?

Would you mind listing zgenom instead of/additionally to zgen? It's a maintained fork of zgen which has received some bug fixed and new features 😊

Please check it out at https://github.com/jandamm/zgenom and give a ⭐️ if you like it :)

Or zgenom[0]. Or if you want to get ESPECIALLY froggy and async with your shell startup, zinit[1]. I ran zinit for years before moving to zgenom. A large swath of electron apps use some weird NPM library to “resolve” your shell environment by kicking up a full interactive shell and then reading the environment variables out of it. zinit messed with that and would hang a lot because of all it’s async loading.
