Fish terminal extra options

Oh My Fish is an installation manager, you will need it if you want to use NVM on it.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish/master/bin/install >install
fish install --path=~/.local/share/omf --config=~/.config/omf

NVM on Fish

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
omf install nvm

Change your theme flavour here

You're wondering why the command lines above aren't added on the fish terminal installation? Well, the second command line causes the script to exit prematurely, until now, I haven't found a way to prevent that.

Dark mode issues

If you're facing some kind of issue with the dark mode, it is likely that is a driver issue, the NVIDIA drivers can sometimes have compatibility issues with specific desktop environment features.

sudo apt-get remove --purge 'nvidia-.*'
sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

sudo reboot
