pacman -S zsh
In the image it shows reinstalling, because I already have it, but so that you can see at least what it installs.
2 .: Once installed we are going to transform it into our default terminal in this way:
ice@ice ~$ chsh -s /bin/zsh
3 .: Then they will surely have a configuration "wizard", they will follow it if they want step by step by selecting the letters and reading what appears or else cancel it and directly continue with step 4 like this ...
4 .: Let's now install oh my zsh, with yaourt:
ice@ice ~$ yaourt oh my zsh
As it appears in the image, we select option number "3". We do not edit anything and then directly we interact as we are used to yaourt.
5 .: Once installed we are going to configure it by copying the zshrc file to our home like this:
ice@ice ~$ cp /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/zshrc /home/ice/.zshrc
6 .: In .zshrc as in .bashrc, we can enter, for example, with nano to edit it and modify data, create aliases, etc, everything will depend on your imagination and of course, you want to read if you don't understand much.
7 .: In case it is not selected, simply write zsh and from there activate the changes with the source command, like this:
source .zshrc
But what advantage do I gain?
and use another shell and you also have to customize it as you want, for some it has more functions and you can do more things. I use it to learn more than anything and not always be with the same thing. 🙂
Basically you gain extensibility and additional features such as command auto-completion, predictive typing and a better design to develop tasks in the terminal. I consider the idea that ice expresses wrong when it refers to "not always being the same thing". If, on the other hand, what you do in the terminal does not require these characteristics, there is no reason to migrate from one terminal to another. I am a full time zsh user!
PD2: I know that it is not the subject of this post, but what tips could you recommend me to improve the autonomy of the netbook, I use chrome or firefox, and I want to reduce the consumption of resources by the browsers, and the rest of the team, already disable bluethooth and lan.
I recommend using Manjaro with Fluxbox ... it's amazing, and as a browser I recommend Palemoon, which is a fork of Firefox that consumes very few resources.
Very good a while ago I wanted to know how it was done thanks!
What I like the most is using Cinnamon + Yakuake 😀
Query and where of the console how is it modified?
where? how when?
