powerline in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own powerline package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so powerline should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • powerline
  • powerline-config
  • powerline-daemon
  • powerline-lint
  • powerline-render

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Prompts and shell helpers load in the shell inside Breadstick's Terminal, as on any Linux system. A prompt that draws icons needs a terminal font that has them. More in the docs: The Terminal.
