I want to avoid using something like oh-my-zsh for my root account. Does anyone have a minimal, easy to review zsh config that makes occasional root tasks easy that I can attach to the root account?
I'd be cautious of changing root's shell or messing with its config. I once changed a root shell and then found I couldn't get in to fix a problem when my /usr or /var partition broke. I needed a statically linked shell binary in /sbin which is how it was initially set up, for good reason.
After that, I never messed with root's shell again.
Furthermore I actually like it to be uncomfortable at the # prompt. Having all of $'s creature comforts strikes me as a little dangerous.
