Is it normal for msys2 to be slightly slower than powershell? because this is the first time using msys2, or am I just dumb?
#Msys2 mingw64 is slower than powershell when using ohmyposh?

i can certainly see msys2 bash being slower than powershell, since it has to go thru cygwin emulation while powershell is a native app

I'm trying to use bash/zsh as an alternative to powershell/cmd because it's more flexible to configure with many plugins and scripts, and I don't (yet) want to use wsl2/linux.

Have you ever installed ohmyzsh on msys2? it is included during zsh installation via pacman -S zsh right?

no, its the same as on arch (and i imagine any linux distro) - just stock zsh from upstream, without any community made customizations
if u want omz ull have to install it afterwards (also just like on arch, or any other linux distro)

it does rerender the prompt, which is the slowest thing in my experience - disabling fancy prompts makes it at least feel faster
not sure if the timing counts the prompt rerender or not tho

I want to ask, if I don't use msys2 clangarm64 can I just uninstall it alone or it will delete the whole msys2?

There is nothing in clangarm64 directory if you don't use.
