Terminal

You can start a terminal session from the Cinnamon menu, Apps menu, or via hotkey Super + Enter. This launches a beautiful and powerful Alacritty terminal window that includes:

  • Caskaydia Nerd Fonts
  • Zsh shell with Oh My Zsh
  • Starship shell prompt
  • Zoxide for a smarter cd command
  • eza for beautiful directory listings via ls and lt

It also includes bat, which is a cat clone with syntax highlighting and git integration.

A few more terminal-focused tools are available from the OhMyDebn menu's Apps->Terminals section:

tmux

tmux is available as an optional installation. You can install via OhMyDebn menu (Apps->Terminals) or hotkey Super + Alt + Return. That hotkey checks to see if it's installed first so even on a new installation you can just press Super + Alt + Return and it will install and then attach to a persistent session named main - closing and reopening the terminal returns you to where you left off.

PowerShell

Microsoft PowerShell is available as an optional installation. You can install via OhMyDebn menu (Apps->Terminals) or hotkey Ctrl + Alt + P.

herdr

herdr is a persistent runtime for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and others) - it owns their terminal sessions on a server you control, so an agent keeps working on long-running tasks even after you disconnect or close your laptop, and you can reconnect from any device to check on it. It's available as an optional installation. You can install via OhMyDebn menu (Apps->Terminals) or hotkey Ctrl + Super + Return. That hotkey checks to see if it's installed first so even on a new installation you can just press Ctrl + Super + Return and it will install and then run.
