Linux

In my previous post, I wrote about using Eza on Fedora 41, which works well and it can be installed via dnf. This week, I upgraded my main computer to Fedora 42 and noticed that the Eza package is no longer available and couldn’t be installed using dnf. I looked into the rust-eza and discovered that the maintainer has orphaned it due to time constrains.

Install the fonts: MesloLGS NF Regular.ttf MesloLGS NF Bold.ttf MesloLGS NF Italic.ttf MesloLGS NF Bold Italic.ttf Clone the repository: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k Set ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k" in ~/.zshrc Configure the Terminal to load the MesloLGS font: ...
