<h1>I am back!</h1> <p>I am back on my favorite linux distribution: Manjaro. Yesterday I did a fresh install after some time of using Arch Linux. The reason for the switch is, that Arch Linux does not have a nice looking, slim desktop environment and i dont want to spend a lot of time making xfce not being ugly. Now I have a Manjaro XFCE, which is pretty nice and fast. I like it.</p> <h1>Remove some packages</h1> <p>Anyway, there are some things I did after install because there are some packages I wont need. I will write it down here so i can look at it again later.</p> <p>The packages I removed:</p> <ul> <li>manjaro-printer</li> <li>xfce4-dict</li> <li>pidgin</li> <li>manjaro-welcome</li> </ul> <p>There are some other applications i want to get rid of but i need to do some further investigation if they are needed. So this list may expand over the time.</p> <h1>Install nice things</h1> <p>Of course I installed some nice things, for now these are:</p> <ul> <li>gajim</li> <li>guake</li> <li>zsh</li> <li>htop</li> </ul> <p>This list is to get longer over the time, too.</p>2017-02-28T00:00:00+01:002017-02-28T00:00:00+01:00Georg Krausetag:www.georg-krause.net,2017-02-28:/shell-magic.html

<h1>New ZSH</h1> <p>I was using the grml-zsh for a long time now. Since the bash isn't that nice, i just installed the <code>zsh-grml-config</code> package of Arch Linux. Yesterday <a href="https://micha.stoecker.me/">Micha</a> recommended me the <a href="https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh">oh my zsh</a> so i give it a try.</p> <h1>Setup</h1> <p>At first we need to install the zsh …</p>

<h1>New ZSH</h1> <p>I was using the grml-zsh for a long time now. Since the bash isn't that nice, i just installed the <code>zsh-grml-config</code> package of Arch Linux. Yesterday <a href="https://micha.stoecker.me/">Micha</a> recommended me the <a href="https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh">oh my zsh</a> so i give it a try.</p> <h1>Setup</h1> <p>At first we need to install the zsh, of course ;)</p> <p><code>sudo pacman -S zsh</code></p> <p>You can read about the different options to get the oh my zsh <a href="https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh#basic-installation">here</a>. There are also some AUR packages, which i haven't tested.</p> <h1>Configuration</h1> <p>For now i use pretty much the basic configuration, i just added some plugins. You need to add them to the <code>plugins=(git)</code> line in <code>~/.zshrc</code>:</p> <p><code>git-extras archlinux common-aliases compleat dirhistory pip sudo systemd</code></p> <p>Now I need to get all the shortcuts to make this useful.</p> <h1>Themes</h1> <p>There are a hell of a lot <a href="https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/themes">themes for oh my zsh</a>. I am using <code>agnoster</code> right now. You need to set the choosen theme in the <code>~/.zshrc</code> file. If you also choose agnoster, you need to set the <code>DEFAULT_USER</code> to your username to avoid <code>username@hostname</code> before the prompt. Also you want to install <code>powerline-fonts</code> to avoid display errors.</p> <p>I think I will change some settings when I am more familiar with oh my zsh. For now it seems to be pretty nice. I will write down all my changes here to have a full overview what I have done to get it running.</p>
