So what does Sup Forums use to make their time with the command line / text-mode editor not suck?
I generally do a minimum of customization from the defaults of a new system (and typically choose Ubuntu for compatibility reasons), but I switch to bitmapped fonts and always turn the saturation down on the foreground colors. I can't stand mushy-edged vector fonts that never seem to have a scale that they look good on.
No one wants to talk about their terminal set-up?
I use zsh with oh-my-zsh as shell. My zsh theme is 'intheloop'. I also use zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin. My favorite terminal emulator is Terminology, because there is no other terminal that has pulsing cursor(not disappearing like in other terminal emulators) and that light from top. Font I use is Consolas.
use terminus as font and save yourself some time
Thanks, I'll give it a try. Seems pretty good so far.
Or use gohufont and save yourself some keystrokes.
All this glowing make it look like a shitty KDE ripoff
Huh? But it IS kde.
Nevermind, I didn't saw your DE/WM
At least you are trying to be consistent ...
Source Code Pro is nice if you don't want an ancient crusty neckbeard tier bitmap font
Terminology is part of the enlightenment DE (which desperately try to look as shitty as KDE and #darkasmysoul).
xfce4-terminal / terminator + Liberation Mono
Enlightenment is a fine DE.
i use gnome terminal profont bash and nano. everything just works and is easy to use.
urxvt, terminus and fish
Moved from bash to fish recently, now I'm not sure why anybody still uses bash, it's like you're deliberately making things more difficult for yourself.
>Solarized + fish = comfy
Bash, URxvt, Inconsolata.
bash is the default on many distros
well done captain obvious
bash, termite, robotomono
Meaning there's already huge traction for bash and many people know how to use it. If you're new to shell, then maybe it's convenient to learn fish, but since most scripts on Linux are ether thin sh or bash, I don't see the point in learning fish.
I use urxvtd + bash + tewi font.
dark blue is barely visible
Zsh,Gnome Terminal, Inconsolata Go, Regular, set at 13.
...
xterm default
Roger. But then just keep bash around and keep scripting with it, you don't need to remove it do you.
ksh, dtterm, whatever comes with CDE.
Visual Studio 2017 RC works well as a fix too.
Can't post a picture right now, but i use:
xfce4-terminal
zsh
oh-my-zsh, with plugins and themes
vim with some plugins
It's really comfy, it was easy to setup and sonetimes i prefer it to graphical environments
Terminology
Noto Mono
Fish
Zsh, oh my zsh, and gohufont. Also, get a nice orange-on-black color scheme.
It's much better on the eyes
