With bspwm for me it was hard as hell becuase the half dozen packages I had to install and configure personally (sway, pi, 4 more etc) and half-write their whole config files…I admire this KISS here.
I thought I was the only one that hunted the hobby obscure .I am nursing a deb cutout called FunOS that looks NOWHERE as imaginative as Lilidog. Nice.
tell me about the dock 
.thanks!
what a magnificent thread, all of you
Moved over to a clean Arch install this week. Giving Budgie a try 
works great on a tablet+stylus setup
love it
So after testing … on new laptop … its now Plasma wit krohnite.
Bay bay hyprland utill its more “deweloped” stable with not changing config principles every week .
Im still fighting the right shortcut and still most stuff in default but it will work.
Here is my desktop. I use some scripts and conkies.
LEFT SIDE
Lowe hyprland … Nice … almoust every easy install dots have ZSH … 
… bloatware for system youst from start … No i understand why … fish is better
badass setup what de are you using?
i have no idea how to use hyperland but your shit is wicked maybe i should investigate or explore it when i got time idk it looks cool asf though
I didn’t understand you.
I’m using KDE Plasma 6.1.5
Gis-Weather. Better use version 0.8.4.1 (works smooth)

Just asking, what does fish do better than bash or zsh?
Everything !!
More easy … hints and others . And over zsh or bash you dont need lots of pluigins or complicated config (over zsh) , ewerything youst works :-). How it should.
I have no experience with customizing the fish shell but you can make bash and zsh as complicated as you want so I would assume the same goes for the fish shell. As an example the examples on the Archwiki page for the fish shell look way more complicated than my zsh config, also you only have write your shell config once and then can use it in a new install and add things to it as you like so it’s not like you start from scratch every time.
I do think the official documentation for the fish shell looks way better than the official documentation for the zsh. People that are used to a POSIX shell might not like going to something that is none-POSIX shell but I think it’s a plus for fish’s documentation that they made a section for bash users to show the differences.
Yes but for zsh to get it like fish , you nedd oh my zsh … for bas somthing too. Fish is exelent … it works , it has 6 predefined config that are great and … nothing need to be write by hand (web interface fish-config)
And yes … i have start with zsh … but nevew got the config how i wanted it to work … and fish works how i want no need to config
I’ve seen a lot of topics on the Arch forums where different people had oh-my-zsh break something in their user profile, so I haven’t used it. I only use what I need which is zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-history-substring-search and powerline-go for my git information and auto-completion is built in. Those are the main things that fish shell advertises with, the rest I don’t need and I prefer to use POSIX-compliant shell and fish is designed to not be POSIX-compliant.
You only need zsh, fortune, starship (and many other configs you want)and voila
Keep it simple. Posix is bash, konsole is zsh. In the end its up to you
Do you mean this with fortune, if so it doesn’t sound like I’m missing much? I am using powerline-go because I find it nice and simple for customizing my shell a bit and it nice for keeping track of what’s happening in a git repo, I always found there is too much to configure with starship. I am curious to know what parts of starship have you configured?
Exactly. But that’s just a bit of playing around. You really don’t need it, but a nerdy saying at the start of a terminal is funny
I personally don’t like Powerline. I just wanted to have it simple.
There really is a lot to configure. But you can also just leave it simple.
