Comments welcome.
You could start by explaining what "powerline theme" is and why is
it worth enabling.
https://fedoramagazine.org/add-power-terminal-powerline/
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).
