You can probably find what i list here on my GitHub in my dotfiles repo.
Basic
Operating system
- My favorite disto is Arch, this is also what i run on my server. On my laptop and desktop i run EndeavourOS simply because it’s easier to install, and comes with certain things set up OOB, like an AUR helper.
Terminal
- I currently use Alacritty, it’s minimal enough OOB for me, and offers a way to easily customize it to my liking.
Shell
- I use zsh as my shell. It’s posix compliant, and allows to me add plugins and shit like that. I used Luke Smith’s config, with a few added features of my own. It uses vim binds, which is something unmissable in my shell once i started using it.
WM/DE
- I currently use Xfce on my desktop, and Gnome on my laptop. I enjoy the simplicity of Xfce on my desktop, and the “bloated” things Gnome comes with are useful for a machine that needs to justwork on my day to day. I’m a heavy touchpad user, and Gnome allows me to customize these to my needs.
Text editor
- Neovim
Browser
- Firefox, of course.
Utilities
File manager
- I just use whatever my DE comes with. I don’t interact with it much, as i primarily use lf. This is built into my shell, so makes it useful to navigate my system in my terminal.
RSS reader
- Newsboat, set up with vim binds and with organized places where each topic goes.
Image editor
- GIMP
