[Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

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...

I use budspencer theme on fish. github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/…/Themes.md#buds…It looks cool and yellow, which I like. I prints the path on the far right and parent folders are printed only with initial letter, so it doesn’t take 2 lines in the shell and it ends up pretty short. It also has git integration and some budspencer exclusive commands to perform some cools actions, I don’t care about and I have never used. Also, I like that command errors are displayed as ✔ or ✘ on the next prompt. It also prints the time the last command has been running. I use vi keybidings, so prompt color changes when I change the mode feel cool. I would also like to have the execution time for every command, but I have another theme for that I don’t remember the name of on my work machine.

I have lately experienced a problem with my family. We have good computers, kind of bad computers and really bad and old computers. I can install a really cool distro on good computers, but not on the bad ones. I need a lighter DE on bad computers and a distro ready for old computers. But my family can’t afford to learn how to use the 3 of them. So what is the solution here?

I’m thinking about installing the same distribution on all of them so that they don’t have to get used to a new one every time they jump from one to another computer. I think that will be antiX.

I like your solution! Thank you.

About my computers: I have 2 1GB RAM laptops. One has 20-25 years the other one 10-15. I have tried Puppy and antiX in these. And I personally prefer antix on them. Another 4GB laptop that might be around 8 but is pretty trash as it was a gift from our bank (it was able to run Elementary OS, it was fine). A kind of old computer but with 4GB RAM (Think I have XFCE or Cinnamon Mint on it). And a big boy with 16GB and a pretty good CPU. And the oldest computers are used the least often (maybe once a year) while the middle computer might be used 20 times a year and the last one maybe once every week.

So I believe something like antix would work, but I’m not sure if the USB way would. Seems like they would lose their pendrives the second day.

I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I’m kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn’t really matter, if you ignore reddit’s existence, you will feel no attachment to it.

Just wanted to mention that, according to GNU, Bookwyrm is nonfree because of being licensed under ACSL. I don’t know the implications of this license on forks.
