@andy,
Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m glad you got Powerline working on LMDE 6. Yes, having Vim with Python3 support is crucial, and installing `vim-gtk3` is a great tip for enabling it.
Happy holidays to you too!

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I successfully have powerline running on Linux Mint (Debian edition) LMDE 6, though I must admit the vim portion was a bit of an uphill climb.
Vim must have built-in python3 support. One must check first using vim --version. The result should show +python3 instead of –python3. I looked further then I had to install vim-gtk3 using apt-get install. Powerline statusline in vim now works!
Happy holidays 2024!

@Chinmany,
I suggest you to go through the powerline documentation for implementing arrows in Vim editor at: https://powerline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html
]]>1. for terminal, how do i put arrows at end of path instead of rectangular box?
2. I use yakuake as terminal. powerline worked on it but for vim instead of arrows, weird symbols were shown. can you tell me how to fix that?
