Linux System Configuration Notes
System Configuration
1. Zsh Installation and Setup
Install Zsh
# Install Zsh
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zsh
# Check Zsh version
zsh --version
# Set Zsh as the default shell
chsh -s $(which zsh)
Install Zimfw
2025.02.16: Use Zimfw instead of Oh My Zsh for better integration and efficiency
# Check current shell
echo $SHELL
# Install Zimfw via curl
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh
echo $ZSH
# Backup .zshrc config file
cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.bak
# Remove Oh My Zsh config
rm -rf ~/.oh-my-zsh
# Edit zsh config file
nano ~/.zshrc
# Edit zim config file
nano ~/.zimrc
# Reload config via source
source ~/.zshrc
Zsh Plugins and Theme Configuration
# Add powerlevel10k module
zmodule romkatv/powerlevel10k
zimfw install
zimfw update
zimfw upgrade
# Install Zoxide (not via Zimfw)
curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/main/install.sh | sh
Most plugins that require manual configuration in Oh My Zsh (such as compinit, SHARE_HISTORY, CORRECT, etc.) are enabled by default in Zim. You only need to manually add required modules and themes, and use
zimfw installto install them automatically.
