    Has anyone played with Starship Prompt yet?

    It's a great prompt replacement for bash, zsh or fish.

    Lot's of customization.

    This looks pretty cool and is in a nice integrated package.

    Another option is "oh-my-zsh" with Antigen, and Auto-complete. Basically you install oh-my-zsh, then use Antigen as the package manager for the themes and plugins.

    I've been using zsh every since OSX decided to make it the default shell. I must say, auto-complete makes life SOOOOO much easier.

    I've had some performance issues here, but my corporate git sources are ginormous. Regardless, I notice with oh-my-zsh that launching a terminal emulator takes a little while even before I'm able to interact and get the shell prompt.

    ESPECIALLY in OSX. :P Lol... I've been enjoying learning brew, in MacOS... and even fart around in terminal a lot on my Mac system now too.

    The only reason I am comfortable with using a MBP is because of shell access and brew. I spend more time in the shell than I do anywhere else.

    I mentioned it elsewhere on SciNet, but... its time for a new laptop for me. And I am a Linux guy... but I'm STILL considering the damn new M1 MBP. Its just so nice - there is a project trying to port over Linux, but its not even half baked as of yet... and who knows.

    Anyway, I have a hard time finding laptop hardware, OR building/creating desktop hardware that... comes out as nice, works as well or is just as cooked in a high end way as Apple hardware. Sucks, because I use Linux as my main. Period.

    I can survive on Linux with crappy Thinkpad hardware, but... I'd love to find a laptop that is SWEET.

    Was considering the Dell XPS Developer Edition with Ubuntu... because I'm not a power user and it LOOKS pretty sweet. (I also bet any of the nicer XPS hardware would play well with Linux distros...)

    You do know that Mac OSX is based on Darwin, Apples custom kernel from Unix. You can do almost anything in MacOS you can do in Linux, just do it in the Terminal. And, if you really want to run actual Linux you can virturalize it.

    "But Bob," you say, "none of the Virturalization software works on the M1 chip yet." And you would be right. But I have a feeling patched versions will be out soon. I know Parallels is close, and I would imagine the others are too. MacOS is a huge platform for developers and they need to be able to virturalize -- so the market will deliver.

    Hardware specs are overrated.

    You can do most of your domestic computing with second hand hardware worth less than 100 bucks and still have CPU power to spare. My laptop is like 10 years old already and it beats the crap out of lots of ubercool laptops of death because I administrate it with some brains.

    I use Thinkpad T430s's as my main; I'm with ya, daddio. :P

    I have several... I spec them out, and have upgraded the display to IPS 1080p... and it is fairly capable.

    I'm with ya... I use my Mac's and like MacOS; I do you the BSD style nix terminal a lot, especially when I want to install and do things Apple doesn't like in its fancy GUI - but that being said, it cannot replace my Linux boxes. Can I use systemctl? And etc, etc etc...

    Although I agree it's no replacement for a system running all the time like Linux, you would be surprised at what you can do under the hood with OSX.

    It doesn't use systemctl but uses something very similar in launchctl. You
    can pretty much do anything systemctl does with it.

    I have binkd and all of the husky software compiled and running via
    launchctl. If the guys over at dosemu2 would every squash the bugs that compiling it on OSX has, I would switch my system over. All I am missing is
    the ability to run SciNet's InterBBS dos games.
