It will be nice to enable powerline theme by default system and user wide. Simple reason is refresh the look of terminal while also providing useful information especially for git branch. Since powerline does not impact the performance, it will be great to set for Fedora 30.
Comments welcome.
You could start by explaining what "powerline theme" is and why is it worth enabling.
That provides a nice overview, but as someone who's extensively diddled their bash configuration to achieve most all of this via a very glorified PS1, can anyone tell me why powerline needs a daemon? Or if it's not needed, what benefit does it bring?
For bash mode it can run without it, but it is painfully slow (it has so many options and features that it is not a small process doing simple fast tasks), so the daemon allows to have the process running all the time and a small renderer calls it for the current prompt line. It also allow to have multiple renderers for tmux, vim, etc.
This is no small python service running and consuming resources all the time for something non CLI users will ever use. Maybe someone manages to make the powerline daemon to start on demand (if a terminal is opened).
