What Type of Terminal User Are You?

Surprising results from the Terminal Personality Quiz.

Minimal yes. Void and Gentoo no. Alpine only in containers so far.

Has anyone else taken the quiz?

Haven’t seen it. I only use apt (install, update, upgrade) and fastfetch, now that neofetch is dead.

I got Minimal Monk too. Some of the questions do not offer any option that suits me…I had to choose closest approximation.

Same here - minimal monk…

This one confounded me :

Because I have oh-my-zsh theming in my .zshrc and use zsh… But monospace black-and-white came closest - I don’t have any ascii art (except when I log in to one of my RPi devices - I have an /etc/motd)

anyway - I did it again and picked “Transparent background with ASCII art and rainbow prompts.” - I don’t have too much rainbow shit 'cause I’m colour blind - but I insist on transparent background…

When I first install zsh and oh-my-zsh - I nearly always pick the “gnzh” ZSH theme - but I I then have to use sed because the default is to colour remote prompts red - and I can’t read that on a black background… So :

╭─x@titanii ~/MPZ  
╰─➤ cd .oh-my-zsh/custom/themes
╭─x@titanii ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes
╰─➤ cp ../../themes/gnzh.zsh-theme ./dmt-gnzh.zsh-theme
╭─x@titanii ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes
╰─➤ sed -i 's/red/141/g' dmt-gnzh.zsh-theme
╭─x@titanii ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes
╰─➤ vi ~/.zshrc
...
ZSH_THEME="dmt-gnzh"
...

I use the terminal when I need to. A few times I have run into trouble and have used it to find solutions. Thus far I haven’t blown up my software. I don’t know much about the coding or the rules, but get by finding examples and applying them. It’s really an unique feature to have compared to a closed system like MS.
