I have few things to say.

  • firstly I might be trippin but does your sysfetch say you have 17.4 Gb of RAM? HOW?
  • also I see you're using bash. at this point you might as well try zsh with omz.
  • and why VScode when already you are using neovim (or other terminal code editor)? If you reeeally need the ecosystem try Codium. I doesn't have all the exstenaions but if it has the one you need it is less bloated vscode (and gentoo users hate bloat)

also the setup is nice ig

bash is copyleft. zsh is permissive. Therefore, bash is superior.

Fish is also GPL'ed

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Fish clear winner for it's simplicity and performance.

sysfetch say you have 17.4 Gb of RAM? HOW?

igpu

My bet is they have 24GB total with 6GB dedicated to the iGPU.

[–] hameru@cyberplace.social 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

@Cort @aqua_cat almost!
It's actually 20GB total with 2GB for the iGPU

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Darn it, that was my next guess. 4GB soldered + 16GB since it's a laptop with a U series chip?

fish is a nice shell btw, but yeah, meh on bash

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Using bash is saner than any ZSH config out there, fish on the other hand is peak

[–] hameru@cyberplace.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

@alsaaas @Gwen I've actually looked a bit into fish before, but didn't switch

does the lack of posix compliance not cause issues in practice? like, has it ever broke some script you wanted to run?

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's its own language, but it doesn't break existing e.g. bash scripts because you declare them to be bash with #!/bin/bash in the first line right? So your shell doesn't matter. Also you can always nest shells and just run bash if you really need it

You just shouldn't set it as your login shell because of that, they have tutorials on that on their website and the Arch wiki explains it too

Uh, check zsh4humans. It is basically fish, but with powerlevel10k terminal skin which is blazing fast.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Thanks, but I like my sane defaults Rust shell and as a scripting lang, fish is also really nice

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

+1 for scripting with fish. Reduced the LOC in my scripts collection by probably 50%, while increasing legibility/maintainability by probably at least 100%. Absolute beast of a lang.
