The final result is going to be absolutely beautiful, very well explained as usual, clear and straight to the point, definitely I will switch to zsh, I was waiting for a tutorial like this for some time now. Thanks a million.
Good job. Inspiring videos all through. The videos on this channel are even better than Netflix series. Keep it going Ermanno. "Now this is gonna take some time, so I'll be back when it's done..."
By far the best tutorial I have watched on this subject. could even follow it on a mac lol. thanks man, appreciate the time and effort you put into these tutorial videos.
I wish i had found this video 1st. All the others expect you to know how to install zsh and are geared more towards minimizing it down to highlighting and suggestion which is all I really wanted as well but this really helps.
Thank you for this awesome video. I switched now to zsh with parrot like theme in alacritty terminal. I just followed your guide and i absolutely like my result. Again Thank you and keep it up!!!
Great video as usual and very helpful for someone new to Arch and Linux in general. You have one of the best content when it comes to Arch Linux and you explain it very well. Keep it up!!
Spaceship prompt is very powerful. And also, very needed plugin is "url-quote-magic". Because when you paste URLs in the ZSH for e.g. CURL its behavior is different from BASH and you have to backslash symbols like "?", "=". Or put whole URL string in the quotes . url-quote-magic does exactly that - it analyzes URLs you paste in the terminal and automatically backslashes special symbols.
@@eflinux Thanks a lot for your videos. I switched to zsh only couple month ago and I really like it. But honestly, while it has all those nice tweaks, I think I can live with BASH + (BASH command complete) + FZF + and starship.rs promt. :) And, for the compatibility reasons, I write all my scripts for /bin/sh, POSIX compliant. So, I don't really have many dependencies on ZSH.
my default plugins are: git keychain z history ubuntu geeknote zsh-navigation-tools common-aliases tmux z is gold! for quick directory changes. I like fox for the theme :-) HTH
Another neat feature of ZSH is suffix aliases. You can launch associated applications by just typing file name (e..g alias -s {txt,md,conf}='nvim' will allow to open files with those extensions in NeoVIM by just typing file name in the terminal. E.g. $ my_text.md and hit Enter.
thanks for clarification about terminal vs shell, I remember I could not wrap my head around why I could not run `zsh` in i3 window manager..., but it said I needed terminal emulator, that was super confusing initially
I love zsh so much, but I have no idea why. It just feels so right to use it. I don't really give much damn about Apple's choices for their products, but there gotta be a half-decent reason for them to switch to zsh as the default shell.

Thanks for your comment. I didn’t forgot about it, it’s just I had some things to take care of here at home, pandemic related. I’ll do the live stream probably at the beginning of September. I’ll update the date as soon as I have a fix date. Sorry for that 😐
I have a error, when I wrote the plugins in .zshrc, when update with source .zshrc show me a error message: [oh-my-zsh] plugins ‘zsh-syntax-highlighting’ not found, please help me.
I am running arch with gnome 40. When i get to 14.02 in the video installing ohmyzsh frame work it does not say if finds the .zshrc file and it does not prompt me to to change me to the default to Zsh. Is anyone else having this problem? I have tried to change to Zsh using the chsh -S /usr/bin/zsh command. It says it change but when i check what shell i am in it still shows bash
I don't know why I watched the video :-). Though I used zsh before, with zim framework instead of oh-my-zsh, Im happy in bash with just bash completion and only the path in the prompt: [~]$
@@eflinux Thank you for answer but no I want delete terminal history. Example: bash shell history is desktop .bash_history or fish shell--> history clear yes.
This man is just plain amazing teacher. Very concise without any condescending tones.
It is indeed a rarity, and a valuable one. If memory serves me, I subbed after I watched a single video, maybe two, tops.
😄

Thanks!
Nice one, well done.
just made my install and day
Very nice video
I get this error when running the wget command: zsh: argument list too long: sh
got it fixed by reading the github in the install.sh xD!
Best tutorial ever!!!! I was the first.
Do you use zhs?
thank's a lot

I'm trying out MX Linux and it works smoothly in my potato machine.

@@eflinux not too good, but it's something :)
Nice I have all this working now! Does the original .zshrc need to be copied to the top of the new one?
Use neovim instd vim
i use fish:D
Fish is great!
@@eflinux yes:D

A little advertising wouldn't hurt, I think.

There is no way I could do vlan mgmt on alcatel 7750 or wans without zsh. It is a must for any serious admin
You mentioned zsh with oh my zsh will effect the resources in a way. Did you mean CPU and memory usage or anything else?
Yes, exactly.
You were to do a live of the installation of btrfs, which more deeply about the file system at the end of July and so far nothing! you forgot?
Thanks for your comment. I didn’t forgot about it, it’s just I had some things to take care of here at home, pandemic related. I’ll do the live stream probably at the beginning of September. I’ll update the date as soon as I have a fix date. Sorry for that 😐
I am trying this on a base Arch install without a graphical desktop / window manager. I think I am missing some fonts.
Yeah, without it even some functionality will be missing.
@@eflinux What fonts need to be installed? I got dwm and st installed. Even when running under st there appears to be a missing font.
I'd definitely install ttf-dejavu at least.
Any plans to do an armv8 install for arch? Raspberry Pi crowd would love ya.
Huuu, intriguing :)
Please tell me how to install a font that can display Chinese characters and ZSH theme special characters?
You can find fonts here: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Localization/Chinese#Fonts
I'm using ArchWSL, when installing the zsh it doesn't generate this little setup tutorial which creates the .zshrc file.
I just upgraded the Arch Linux network card and the device is gone. Can you help me
You should check if the card is blocked by rfkill. You can look at the video for the July ISO to see how it works.
I have a error, when I wrote the plugins in .zshrc, when update with source .zshrc show me a error message: [oh-my-zsh] plugins ‘zsh-syntax-highlighting’ not found, please help me.
That means probably you didn’t install the plugin correctly.
how do you change emacs to vi? I cannot access the initial setup screen. I started learning vim so I would like to switch to vi in the settings.
*omz update* is now the way to update omz.

I don't know why I watched the video :-). Though I used zsh before, with zim framework instead of oh-my-zsh, Im happy in bash with just bash completion and only the path in the prompt: [~]$
The bash completion by default without any configurations is nowhere near zsh's completion.
How delete commond history? 😕
I tried history clear and history -c but don't working
If you mean clearing up the terminal it’s ctrl + l
@@eflinux Thank you for answer but no I want delete terminal history.
Example: bash shell history is desktop .bash_history or fish shell--> history clear yes.
You should be able to remove the ~/.bash_history.
@@eflinux i forget write i use zsh shell
Thank you I removed ~/zhistory and it done.
👍👍👍
How to change default shell to zsh?
