Great post, so simple and helped a lot! thank you!
I'd like to add a tip regarding nerd fonts for the complete linux beginners like me.
If you have GNOME then probably you are using gnome-terminal like me and it didn't find the fonts after installing them.
One work-around is to install gnome-tweaks sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Then run it with the same name gnome-tweaks, and go to the fonts tab, then set the "system mono" (or something like that :D ) to the nerd font you downloaded
Now in the gnome-terminal preferences, uncheck the "custom font" box.
And after a day of struggling, it works :D
Well at least for me on Pop!_os 21.10
If Gnome shipped with Tweaks already installed, stuff would be much easier for beginners. I don't know the reason behind it... Maybe they don't want you tweaking stuff by default...
Anyway... Enjoy your setup!
