What are yinz doing with zsh that you couldn't do with bash or pretty much any other shell? I feel like I don't really don't use enough fancy shell features to notice much of a difference between the two.

- better tab complete
- the up arrow will match items based on something you already have typed in which is very neat
- which will tell you if a command is an alias instead of just telling you its not on your path

While not zsh specifically the plugin ecosystem around oh-my-zsh has some cool stuff too like colored man pages and fish style auto-suggestions/syntax highlighting

Also theming cause I too am 12

I wiped my laptop to install gentoo, gave up after 10 hours because lol, and now can't decide what to install. does arch handle steam ok, or is it a pain in the rear end to get working?

I like loving with poo poo, thats why I'm a linux admin, but I don't want to have to just to kill some poo poo in a game

Steam running on Manjaro has been pretty decent

Ubuntu and fedora are so much more polished than other distros. why do people recommend manjuro it seems like half of that packages aren't actually tested. Ubuntu just works

also gnome 3 seems real good? Why do people dislike it

The reason I use manjaro is it seems to be the most polished distro with pacman/aur access. Thats basically it though

also gnome 3 sucks

Speaking of this, vinegar is an excellent dired replacement that ive found to be a lot easier to read
