Kitty Configuration (with fonts) - Bare Bones to Beautiful - 04

The Bare Bones to Beautiful series is a set of videos that will walk through my processes of building from the ground up an operating system, and configuring to my liking.
In this video I install the Nerd Fonts Fira Code font collection, configure kitty, and set up picom.

_Kitty seems to be a terminal emulator every says they use, but can hardly find a config tutorial on youtube._

Thanks for posting this video. Your examples really helped me get my config setup just right. Great work!

[@skaiinyght]

Glad they were of use, I’ve come back to this video a few times when I add kitty on a new pc

[@thegenxgamerguy6562]

Yes, I use FiraCode Nerd Font, too. Love the ligatures in Rider. Nice to have them on the console as well, of course.

[@skaiinyght]

Fira code has been my go-to for so long! It's so damn elegant and efficient at the same time

Nice!

[@lakshmanshankar]

Why some apps like kitty default configs are bad 😞? Well because they want you to explore the customisation options they have

Do you have a Telegram group chat for Arch users ?

[@skaiinyght]

Telegram, no, there is a discord link in the about of the channel though

[@bokutokoutarou]

sorry to bother you but i'm trying to get ligatures working on my kitty terminal but i can't get it working i followed this video of yours as well still couldn't get ligatures working

[@skaiinyght]

You need disable_ligatures never In your kitty config, and then you'll need to set the font to one that has ligatures. Any of the nerdfont fonts should have them
