-# Programs and Equipment I Use
-I'm about getting things done quickly and having as little latency between
-my thoughts and actions on the computer.
-
-I like having vim-like bindings and prefer running programs in the terminal for simplicity's sake.
-That said, I'm very much against the cringe meme that things in the terminal are "cooler" or "nerdier" XD.
-Terminals are good for most tasks, but useless for others, for example, browsing the web
-(I admit this unfortunate fact with much consternation) or looking at maps.
-
-## Software I Use
-
-### OS Distribution
-[NixOS](https://nixos.org/). NixOS is an immutable OS where you are only allowed to modify the system
-via declarative config files.
-
-I've distro-hopped between Manjaro, Void, Debian, and Fedora, but since NixOS
-this has largely stopped as I'm quite happy with my NixOS + Home Manager setup.
-I did like Debian, and Fedora as well.
-
-You can find my configs [here](https://gitlab.com/kdam0/dotfiles-nix).
-There is a dedicated [post]({{< ref "/post/nixos-p1" >}}) about this.
-
-
-### Desktop Environment
-I've settled on [DWL](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl) after many years of hopping.
-Its clean, functional, and extremely light.
-
-Prior to this, I've used Bsmpw + Sxhkd, i3, Gnome, KDE Plasma etc.
-I'm glad these exist and people get use out of it, but for now I do not miss it.
-

-
-### Text Editor
-[(neo)vim](https://neovim.io/). Less of a text editor and more of a lifestyle. Check out my dotfiles for this.
-No, I'm not going to ever switch to emacs.
-
-![Neovim](https://neovim.io/images/showcase/telescope_helptags.png)
-
-### Web Browser
-[Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/) /
-[Brave](https://brave.com) /
-[Vivaldi](https://vivaldi.com).
-I have tried, Chromium, Qutebrowser in the past.
-
-### File Manager
-[ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger). Yes, I've tried `nnn` and others.
-Yes I know its not the fastest, but something about Ranger makes me keep coming back to it :shrug:.

-
-## Where can I find good software options?
-The program of your dreams is probably listed below:
-* The [suckless](https://suckless.org/rocks/) website's list of programs that "rock".
-Generally minimalist programs.
-* A more comprehensive [list](https://github.com/mayfrost/guides/blob/master/ALTERNATIVES.md)
-of minimalist software.
-* [FSF's Free Software Directory](https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page).
- Emphasis on libre software (although most software in the links above will have free licenses as well).
-* [Gentoo Wiki Recommendations](https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/List_of_recommended_GNU/Linux_software)
- A good mix of programs for novices and advanced users.
-
-## Hardware I Use
-
-### Laptop
-~~The main laptop I use is the [Framework laptop](https://frame.work/).
-I'm a huge fan of the whole upgradability concept coming from a few generations of ThinkPads.~~
-
-I've since re-purposed this laptop to be [something else]({{< ref "/post/framework-server" >}}).
-
-## What I don't use
-Proprietary software.
-
-I'm not going to endorse proprietary services that have gone out of their way to spy on or politically
-suppress their users, just as Facebook, Discord etc.
-One of the many take-aways you should get from me is that the use of libre/free software,
-by its nature, is more constructive and extensible; and **that's the point**.
-
-There are philosophical reasons for this I talk about [here]({{< ref "/post/self-host" >}}).
