hardware
- laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, It runs Arch.
- old laptop: ThinkPad T440s (Old laptop which just sits in my closet now). I got this second hand when I was in first year of college when I was obssesed with Thinkpads (I still am). It runs ubuntu.
- monitor: LG 32" 4k. I've searched a lot for a good monitor before landing on this one. monitors are almost universally bad and the ones that are not bad are just expensive, this one is really good for the price.
- phone: I use pocofone with LineageOS, it's old now but sadly I can't find a worthy replacement.
Software
- OS: I use arch + i3 as my daily driver.
- note taking: logseq is a free & open source markdown editor with a really nice UI. It's kinda like Obsidian but it's open source and free. I use it for note taking and journaling.
- editor: vscode and neovim are my editors of choice. been trying out zed and cursor as well.
- terminal: alacritty with tmux is a crazy fast setup especially if you use neovim. sadly I'm not using it as much as I used to. but it's still a good setup.
- browser: brave and chromium for browsing the web (I'm yet not paranoid enough to install ungoogled-chromium). brave is my primary browser anyway, I use it with brave search, which i started using when I ditched google search. and honestly it works great.
- email: I use proton mail for personal use. I also have gmail though, can't just get rid of it sadly.
- messaging: I use almost all texting apps but mostly it's just telegram and discord. I think telegram is the best messaging app out there (great UI, great features, multiple device support without any effort).
- music: spotify. is youtube music better? maybe. but i like spotify better.
