    Not quite - the path:lib annotation tells antidote to load all the scripts in Oh-My-Zsh's lib directory - not all its plugins which are in its plugins directory. It's confusing, I know. OMZ's lib directory is not required for every plugin, but a lot of them unfortunately do depend on lib. You can load individual scripts from lib with antidote (ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:lib/clipboard.zsh), but honestly if you are ready to move away from OMZ entirely you might really like something like zsh-utils or zephyr.
  • I think zsh4humans is for experts despite the name, what do you think?

    In any sense, I don't really use Prezto any more. I have focused my efforts on the small portion of it I actually use, and they're in zsh-utils now.

    I'm currently loading only these plugins (git, zsh-autosuggestions, colored-man-pages, zsh-syntax-highlighting) in omz and I don't think I use it for anything else (in case you want to check, my .zshrc is [here](https://github.com/0xfederama/dotfiles/blob/main/.zshrc), updated removing p10k and replacing it with starship at the end).
