Recommended way to install fish
Hi,
What’s the recommended way to install fish on bazzite, should I use homebrew since that’s not layering it?

fish is already installed, you can set the terminal to launch fish instead of bash
settings > preferences (or Ctrl+,) > profiles
if you only have one profile, click the settings button next to it > edit
under shell, enable "Use Custom Command' and enter "/usr/bin/fish" in the field below it
the next time you start a terminal session it will use fish
That worked great, thank you.
Now I just have to figure out how to do something like tide or starship on an immutable system like this
I think for now the cleanest option would be to install fisher, then install tide with it
You can install starship using brew
True true
fisher via brew or a different method?

it works within fish functions, so it's clean and easy to remove
tide can be installed with fisher (https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide), but yeah as asen23 said if you prefer starship for now brew is probably the most efficient. if you're not familiat with fisher though, they have cool stuff you can install with it
Fisher is on brew, that's how I did it in a previous bazzite computer
ahhh ok ok got it
I believe I did brew install fisher, then used fisher for tide
So I think that makes it cleaner then running his install script?
Trying not to get my install out of control this time
Haven't decided if I want tide or starship this time
What are you using?
well the installer itself is contained to one
fish function, so i personally prefer it. pretty clean in my book
(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher)
i dont really use brewAh ok
but i use starship from a copr repo in my custom images. havent gotten around that on my bazzite image
I've only ever used Tide, any reasons to switch to starship?
ehh personal preference i guess? i used to use pure and tide, but eventually i just went with starship and never got to try other prompts
i mean if tide works for you i don't really see a reason to switch. i can't tell if any is more performant than the others tbh
