Software I use, hardware I love, and other things I recommend
Nobody asked, but here are the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I'm being productive when I'm really just procrastinating. Here's a big list of all of my favorite stuff
Development tools
Arch Linux
"Yeah, I use Arch Linux btw."
Neovim
My text editor and IDE for basically everything (even for what I'm using to right this right now!) It's definitely not for everyone, but its a no brainer if you hate switching between your mouse and keyboard while pro gramming or regular writing
Visual Studio
Whenever I have to do any C# development, I use Visual Studio on Windows with a different computer, because my Pavilion is way to weak for it unfortunately
Kitty Terminal
All I need out of a terminal and more. Perfect for me
Firefox
This is what I've liked since I was litte, so why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Editing
Photopea
Whenever I need to create a quick sketch of something and don't have access to Photoshop
Photoshop CC 2022
On the very rare occasion that I actually need to design something
Vegas Pro 18
My go to video editing software. I've been using Vegas Pro products for about 5 years at this point, and its almost never let me down
Software
Hyprland
A Wayland tiling window manager
mpd and ncmpcpp
MPD (Music Player Daemon) and ncmpcpp are the best choices for music for me, since I can't have an app like Spotify running with a browser at the same time without using a big portion of my swapfile
ElectronMail
An ok, I guess, free option for desktop mail with ProtonMail
Productivity
Google Calendar
Basically my only productivity tool, since more than anything I just need to be aware of events I need to prepare for
