I used to use starship with zsh. It's pretty good, I did write my configuration from scratch but kept it really short and barebones. The configuration is fairly nice and easy so you won't feel overwhelmed really.

Although at this point I just use bash with the default prompt in Fedora. Couldn't be bothered setting it up again(even though it takes like 5 minutes) because I rarely use the cli lol.

Ubuntu is really bad with this. Installing npm pulls adwaita icon theme, xorg and half the gnome desktop for some reason.

Thank you!

just found this, seems promising!

Seems it does indeed work with root-level containers.

Thanks!

You can just switch to kde or xfce if you dont like gnome, thats what linux is all about. For one I cant really use anything not-gnome anymore, its workflow feels just so efficient and is equally good with a touchpad, keyboard and mouse. I usually get distracted really easily on kde and the likes but gnome just gets out of the way and lets me focus more on my work.
