Replicate Manjaro's terminal on another Linux distro
Out of all of Linux distributions I saw, Manjaro has my favorite terminal. I find it to be the most practical and elegant.
These are the steps to get the closest option I know of configured in any other linux system (particularly on any Debian based). It’s basically installing Oh My Zsh with a specific theme (powerleverl10k) and plugin (zsh-autosuggestions)
Steps
- Step 1. Update system and install zsh
- Step 2. Install Oh My Zsh:
- Step 3. Install Powerlevel10k
- Step 4. Set Zsh theme
- Step 5. Restart zsh
- Step 6. Install zsh-autoggestions
Step 1. Update system and install zsh
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install zsh
Step 2. Install Oh My Zsh:
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
When you install Oh My Zsh you will be asked if you want to change your default shell to zsh. Say Yes
Do you want to change your default shell to zsh? [Y/n] Y
Step 3. Install Powerlevel10k
cd
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git
Step 4. Set Zsh theme
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>~/.zshrc
Step 5. Restart zsh
exec zsh
That’s it! If for whatever reason zsh doesn’t show up as your default terminal you can activate it with:
chsh -s $(which zsh)
You can also re-execute the configuration settings anytime with p10k configure
