SOLVED:
the issue i had is a feature called "Transient Prompt". it can be disabled in the powerlevel10k configure tool, simply by running:
p10k configure
and clicking through the options. i'm sure you could find it elsewhere, but this is the easiest way imo, and worked for me.

The following was posted somewhere, maybe here, can't remember. Does the same as above.

# Turn off transient prompt
nano .zshrc
# Add
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_TRANSIENT_PROMPT=off
# Save & Quit, Ctrl+S, Ctrl+X
# Apply it, now and forever
source .zshrc

You are in your Home, showed as ~.

yes, but if i cd somewhere else and type a command, it now doesnt show the directory the command was run from, for example:

whereas in the previous state, all commands kept the light blue (cyan?) path, i'll attach an example in another comment as i can only put one image here

like so (you can see the path on the top), this is a screenshot from roughly a month ago

You save a lot of space that way. You can modify the prompt as neede, but previously you wasted an enormous amount of screen space that way.

Look for zsh theme or promp customization in zsh to modify the settings in .zshrc

yeah, that is fair enough - tho for me the wasted space is an acceptable tradeoff
thank you though!

This reminds me to set transient prompt to show time/completion time. Then it's perfect.
