Uses
I don't know who started it but this is similar to /now.
Hardware
- Desktop. Win 11 custom built with older parts (newest thing is 2021 GPU). Still holds up well.
- Laptop. Alienware x15 R2. Got it from my University scholarship. An alright laptop - holds up with EXTREMLY heavy usage (On average, I use it from 3-10 hours a day). Very solid and consistent - just some quality issues with the battery cables (The end of the battery is sharp, so the cable gets frayed and needs replacement).
- Mouse. My favorite is the Logitech MX Vertical mouse. Lasted 2 years of heavy daily usage (clicks no longer work, I need to press hard). Now I use a bootleg SEENDA vertical mouse.
Editor & terminal
- IDE. At work I'm forced to use VSCode. Out of work I use Zed.
- Text Editor Helix. It just works. Keybindings are great and its super fast/simple.
- Terminal. Ghostty, Fish, Jetbrains Nano Font, Bandit theme (although I use a custom one sometimes, it's hard to find maroon/desaturated red themes).
- Font. Jetbrains nano font, but I really like the monaspace font family (Neon for code, krypton for editor text).
- Color scheme. My favorite is the Noctis family of themes, specifically Noctis Azureous and Hibernus.
Software
- OS. CachyOS (Arch Linux).
- Browser. Brave but I really should be using palemoon instead. Servo when it gets off the ground.
- Window manager. Hyprland.
- Notes. TriliumNext for my book notes. It's... Alright. I want something else tho.
- Game Engine Godot (preferred) and Unity3d. UE is too heavy IMO, hard to hit the ground running.
Programming languages
- PYTHON IS STILL THE TOP, BABY!! I dropped python for about a year to focus on other languages (namely Go). I came crawling back.
- Go is still great.
Fridged (for now):
- Odin is interesting... It's got a lot of cool ideas. I got the Odin book, and I'm really liking it. If I made more games, I'd use it more.
