When you get 32 levels deep in a folder you really start to appreciate it.

Have a fishy fish ><(((°>.

export PS1='\n\[\e[00;31m\]><\[\e[01;31m\](\[\e[00;31m\](\[\e[01;31m\](\[\e[00;37m\]°\[\e[00;31m\]>\[\e[m\] '

the more shit you add to your PS1 the slower it is.
I don't understand macfags who literally insert a python script into their prompt, it makes the prompt take nearly a whole second to appear.

The PS1 I posted takes exactly the same amount of time as a plain PS1='$ ', and my computer is a ~6 year old piece of shit.

Hey im new here and trying to get into this stuff. What's going on here?

Master race right here. I built this two years ago and use it on every machine. Add @host name if you have the same username on multiple machines.

\[\033[01;30m\]\@ \u\[\033[01;34m\] \w \[\033[00m\]

Try it out.

The PS1 variable determines what your prompt looks like, and you can customize it in different ways. You can have colors, several variables (what time it is, the date, the directory, etc.), put together to give you helpful information.

For example, in OP, \u@\h:
\u expands to the username, and \h expands to the host, as

user@user-A780L

The PS1 is a bash variable that represents your prompt. You can customize your PS1. Ie it could be anything you define it. Examples
