I feel lonely :) Help me stop this feeling I'm the only one. Just switched from bash to zsh, and while I completely get why somebody would want to use oh-my-zsh, and I don't have anything against the project, it just seems like everybody is using it!? It's difficult to Google for any zsh configuration help/tutorials without ending up with oh-my-zsh. Again, it's not that oh-my-zsh itself bothers me, it bothers me that all my search results are infested with it :)

I am surprised nobody suggested you to use oh-my-bash
It's an alternative to oh-my-zsh but with bash shell.
Here you go - github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash
Thx! :) Yes, I figured out it's best to pick and choose for yourself. For larger plugins I just prefer to install from Arch AUR repo, that way updates are also managed.
You're not alone. There is plenty of people that don't use
oh-my-zsh, myself included.If you're looking for resources I recommend checking the awesome-zsh-plugins repository. It has a lot more than just plugins.
I did used
oh-my-zshwhen I first started withzshbut after a year or so I notice that I didn't use even half of the features and functions it provides. What I did was dig into the source code of oh-my-zsh and took what I actually found useful and assembled my own config: you can check out the zsh specific config and also the mostly POSIX compliant config.It's also worth mentioning that plugins can be a good source of information. Sometimes they use builtin features of zsh you don't know they existed. And sometimes they provide aliases that you can use without even installing the plugin.
