Good day all!

First I’d like to thank all the people who replied to my first post and provided so much valuable information! Since then I’ve been trying to force myself to get comfortable with using the terminal! To this end I’ve been running Sway as my Desktop Environment and printed out a cheat sheet to place next to my screen.

Now, a paragraph deep, for the question(s):

How do y’all customize your terminals? I’m not looking for tutorials, just your preferences. How long did it take for you to settle on your favourite? What did you prioritize when customizing? What customization are you fondest of?

Thanks in advance to any and all replies, hope to hear from you all soon!

    I don’t have a lot of customization, just a few tweaks to make things a little more pleasing to me.

    I’m a bash guy, and I like the Dracula theme, I currently use gnome and gnome terminal with Dracula, but soon plan to try out Hyprland and Sway.

    My command prompt customization is also minimal,

    Outside of those visuals, the biggest customization is that I use zoxide for directory navigation instead of cd (I have the command aliased to zd).

    edit: spelling

      Thanks for the reply!

      Zoxide seems cool, typing long paths has been an annoyance of mine so far but I think I’ll keep writing them out for the “experience”.

        It’s super nice. I still often type out the full path, but it sure is nice when I’m going levels deep to just type the destination directory and be there.
