linux-setup

My linux setup including vim config (based on this) etc. Be sure to always be in home dir (cd ~) when installing!

Note: I'm using the WSL with Kali-Linux for this setup. Currently im using Ubuntu with Regolith-Linux and rarely KDE. And alot of vim and the command line. Absolutely worth learning!

Find detailed vim shortcut list here.

installation

zsh and other necessary packages

sudo apt-get install zsh git neovim g++ gcc gdb cgdb valgrind default-jdk tig
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

helpful packages

pip install thefuck

fixing the WSL font / icon bug with zsh (on Windows):

1. download and install the ttf fonts from powerline manually on your Windows PC
2. set terminal default settings to DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline.ttf under Right Click on Terminal > Default values > Font

installing powerlevel10k

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ~/powerlevel10k
echo 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme' >>~/.zshrc

Now restart the zsh (the terminal) and go back to home directory (cd ~). Configure powerlevel10k as you want it (you can always reconfigure it anytime with p10k configure).

installing external language beautifiers (for vim)

Note: apt-get package manager has to be replaced with yours (on mac e.g. with brew install).
