Interesting stuff! Just wanted to say that using the F word in the title was maybe not necessary. :-)

I think it helps to highlight how much he likes the subject he's talking about.

"It's awesome" < "It's fucking awesome"

I understand your point of view but this title was deliberately sarcastic.

I too settled for Deepin.

I was a fan of Unity, but it ended. Elementary is just skin on Gnome, nothing new. Gnome and KDE default are painfully ugly.

I wish Ubuntu makes Deepin fork. So that we don't have to rely on Chinese servers privacy issue.

Umm, well you could try installing the environment anyways on Ubuntu, I believe there is a PPA with all the deepin packages...

Usually PPAs keep the stable version at the time of release of distro and often that's 1 or 2 version behind the current release.

Every time I see an article about a linux setup I dream of a reality that Adobe products were available on Linux (at least on some distributions). Its literally the only thing that keeps me for using MacOS for development.

(Yes I know there are workarounds but until Adobe provide actual support its a no go for me.)

It's also another time I neovim which makes me curious and I think I'm going to try it out.

Overall great setup!

I feel absolutely the same, the fact that most of my favorite graphic softwares and games are not available on Linux distributions made me always frustrated. In the near Future, I'm planing to install a Linux distribution on my current decent laptop for development and buy a new high-end laptop for modern games and better experience with adobe products. I'll start saving ASAP for that 😂

How did you get the terminal theme like that? res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/im...

It's fish shell with spacefish prompt.

First, install fish (e.g. under ArchLinux / Manjaro):

$ pacman -S fish

Then install oh-my-fish framework:

$ curl -L https://get.oh-my.fish | fish

And finally install spacefish:

$ omf install spacefish

That's a good article.
I like Ubuntu Budgie as I find it very clean and useful. It never failed me. :-)
Instead of exa, I use lsd which is working pretty well.
fish or zsh are pretty equivalent but I must say that the Spaceship prompt is definitely a must have.

Cool setup! I'm done with Arch derivatives, I got sick of one random package update blowing up my system in weird ways. I learned you can get a Developer subscription for free to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and I just started using that, opposite end of the spectrum :)

I admire people that can stick to vim. With all the keyboard shortcuts. But yes impressive

Anyone knows if there is a SpaceFish prompt equivalent for plain bash?
