Like, best text editor? Helix, Neovim, vim, emacs? All of the above, because why not? Currently leaning helix, becuase there's less setup involved with plugins and what not, but I'm not a serious programmer or anything.
Any reason to use an alternative to bash?
Any cool games? Best terminal file manager? Tmux or Zelij? Etc.
Useful aliases you use?
I'm currently messing around with NixOS, and was trying to build up a replacement for my current debian media server, and (eventually, hopefully, 
) as a replacement to my current windows install.
I like debian a lot, but after installing it on both my laptop and server there was a lot of program drift between the two, when I wanted them to basically be identical, and then I found nix, and thought "this looks neat" and the idea of being able to reproduce everything on each install, with the same config format, appealed to me. I am currently playing around with it in a vm until the config is to my liking.
Seeing as the .nix config files are so portable I started working on a "module" for terminal apps to get about as close to a fully functional system as you can get with only a command line or terminal session, just to see what I could do.
So far I have quite a list, and looked over quite a few top 10 lists for this stuff, but was wondering if there was anything else out there I'm overlooking?
Pic is of my current bash prompt with starship, which was incredibly easy to get working and tweak thanks to home-manager modules. If anyone else is running starship and has a cool config they want to share, please do.
Cool, thanks!
A custom update function was something I was thinking of doing. The nix commands are a bit arcane, having a simple "update" command for all of them seems like it would be useful.
