Programs and Equipment I Use

- -

Software I Use

- -

Priorities

- -

I'm about getting things done quickly and having as little space 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 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. -

Distribution
-
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.
- -
Desktop Environment
-
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.
- -
Text editing and programming
-
vim. 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.
- -
Web browser
-
The web is bloat so they are all kinda terrible. I have tried, chrome, qutebrowser in the past. Right now I - use Vivaldi with the add-on Vimium to get customizable - vim-like keybindings. -
- -
File manager
-
nnn. Yes, I have used ranger.

Where can I find good software options?

The program of your dreams is probably listed below:

Hardware I Use

- -
-
Laptop
-
The main laptop I use is the Framework laptop . I'm a huge - fan of the whole concept coming from a few generations of ThinkPads. It remains to be seen if they can hold - true to their promise for providing upgradable motherboards, but from everything I've gotten so far, I'm - impressed. -

- -

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, or Discord. - One of the many potential take-aways you should get from me is that the use of libre/free software, by its - nature, is more constructive and extensible—that's the point. 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. -
