Maybe I'm in the minority, but I gave up on Zsh/OMZ/Powerline and all of that. I went back to plain bash and keep it simple.

Zsh is cool to look at and has a couple useful plugins, but the whole thing slows down your shell start up and adds a slew of dependencies that may go on life support, or under control of a foreign government.

I'll just stick with bash. It's ugly. It doesn't have pretty auto suggestions but at least it works and it will be there forever.

I too preferred simplicity, so I just hacked together a basic script of my own to get a similar result.

I am the life support now.

OMZ is definitely super slow, but there are a few competitors trying to speed start times up, with nice results (50% to 80% reduction).

For style just use starship.rs
