That said, I'm - very much against the cringey 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 modern web (I admit this unfortunate fact with - much consternation) or looking at maps. - </p> - - <dl> - <dt>Distribution</dt> - <dd>Manjaro (stable) though this is a bit of a moot point since there's been a lot of convergence among the - popular distros recently especially since they all offer some dedicated channel for getting upto date - software. The real day-to-day difference to workflow comes from the choice of desktop environment. I do like - Debian, and Fedora as well.</dd> - - <dt>Desktop Environment</dt> - <dd>I setted on Gnome w/ Wayland after many years of hopping. Gnome comes with all the tools you'd expect to see - in a moderm desktop, and for the most part these tools are perfectly capable of doing the task they are - meant to do. This means that the desktop enviroment just gets out of the way which I've really come to - appreciate over time. Prior to Gnome, I've used DWM + Sxhkd, KDE Plasma. I'm glad DWM exists and people get - use out of it, but for now I do not miss it - I'm sure that will eventually change too.</dd> - - <dt>Text editing and programming</dt> - <dd><a href="https://www.vim.org/" target="_blank">vim</a>. Less of a text editor and more of a lifestyle. No, - I'm not going to ever switch to emacs. I use the pywal plugin for colors. Technically, I use neovim.</dd> - - <dt>Web browser</dt> - <dd>The web is bloat so they are all kinda terrible. I have tried, chrome, qutebrowser in the past. Right now I - use <a href="https://vivaldi.com/" target="_blank">Vivaldi</a> with the add-on Vimium to get customizable - vim-like keybindings. - </dd> - - <dt>File manager</dt> - <dd><a href="_blank" target="https://github.com/jarun/nnn">nnn</a>.

I'm a huge - fan of the whole concept coming from a few generations of ThinkPads.

There are philosophical reasons for this - you'll run across in time, but for now, suffice it to say I will not endose the usage of proprietary - software. - </dd> - </dl> - - </br> - <big> - <a href="index.html">Return to main page</a></big> -</body> - -</html> |
