Hi Jonas,
My point is, debconf configuration handling is very convenient, but it
isn’t intuitive for users. I ran the command you provided; take the
`sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` command as an example. I can select some
configurations during this process, but (assuming I’m a novice) I don’t
understand the meaning of these options, and I have no way of knowing
the differences between them.
Regarding ohmyzsh—I got it wrong. What I meant is powerlevel10k, a
script that beautifies zsh, allowing users to set the shell prompt
style. Users can preview the results after changes in real time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfaZ2vfauDQ is a preview video starting
at 7 minutes. You can see how users complete the configuration using the
preview option.
For example, we could ask the user if they can see the current color bar
to determine whether truecolor is required. Then we could provide
several color options for them to select the theme.
I have a couple of questions: First, can debconf implement the above
process? Second, when should this configuration process occur? When
using apt, there isn’t often much configuration to ask me about.
I’m also not in a rush to provide example configurations. As I initially
hoped, I want users to be able to display theme colors after
installation, as long as their terminal supports it. As for other
configurations, since the default installation opens a blank
configuration via the `:config-open` command, I attribute my initial
confusion to this issue.
Best regards,
Junyong Liang
