<h2>General GNU/Linux Setup</h2>
<p>My setup of programs is listed below.</p>
<br />
<h4>GNU/Linux Distribution</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use Arch Linux. I like the bleeding edge nature of updating, and easy
configuration. It definitely has a larger learning curve than something
like Ubuntu, but once you learn the in's and out's, everything becomes
very easy.
</li>
<li>
I also dabble with FreeBSD from time to time, though I'm no expert and
there's a lot I don't know. I'm planning on making a switch to OpenBSD,
but until then I'll stay with FreeBSD. If you haven't tried the Ports
system of package management, it is an absolute necessity that you give
it a run.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Text Editor</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Vim is my text editor of choice. Like Arch, it has a learning curve but
makes things faster overall. I particularly like the ability to search
for and replace text, as this makes changing parts of the HTML on this
website very easy.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Media Player</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use mpv. 'It just werks' and I don't need anything more for the rare
movie or music album.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Window Manager</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use i3-wm rather than a full DE. It doesn't take up my system's
resources, is easy to configure, and has good documentation. There are
certainly good alternatives, herbstluftwm for example, but I don't see
any point in rewriting all of my configurations just to have a marginal
difference in performance or functionality.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Terminal Emulator</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use st. Configure once, apply scrollback.diff, never worry about it
again. The use case of a terminal is to access the shell, so if it does
that, then I don't care about any other feature. The most substantial
reason I have for using st is that it's super small (~2000 lines of
code) and it 'just werks.'
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Web Browser</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use ungoogled-chromium. It's just like normal Chromium or Chrome but
without any Google integration, making it more secure. I use Chromium
specifically because I like the functionality and UI. Simple as that.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>IRC Client</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use weechat. It just werks. On some computers I have irssi set up, but
that's generally not my go-to.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fonts</h4>
<ul>
<li>
I use Cormorant Garamond for documents, and switch between Hack and
Source Code Pro as my terminal font. I like the vintage yet clean style
of Cormorant Garamond, and the clean readability of Source Code Pro and
Hack.
</li>
</ul>
