Software I use (Desktop/Laptop)

Distribution

  • EndeavourOS/Arch Linux

Desktop Environment

  • Niri / Dank Material Shell
  • Gnome

I started using the Niri / Dank Material Shell combination in 2026 and I think it's pretty good! Previously I used Gnome and I'd still have it installed as a fallback though I don't really have a use case for it at the moment.

Browser

  • Firefox (nightly)
  • Helium (occasionally for testing)

I have used firefox for like forever. During 2010s I switched to chromium for a while because firefox had problems with multiple tabs, after they fixed that I switched back.

Terminal

  • alacritty w/ byobu (tmux)
  • gnome-terminal w/ byobu (tmux)

Development tools

Editor

  • Helix (w/ leona/helix-gpt for copilot completions)
  • vim (on servers)

I tried neovim in 2023 (?) and it was pretty much the worst user experience of my life. kickstart made things easier and I managed to get a working configuration after a couple of weeks. And after accomplishing that, I switched back to Helix. Helix is faster and I don't really have a use case for the plugins/scripting in neovim. At least nothing that would the worth the hassle.

Agentic coding

  • opencode w/ openrouter

git tools

  • lazygit
  • tig (occasionally)

E-Mail

  • aerc
  • Thunderbird

IRC

  • weechat

Password management

  • keepassxc

Other TUIs (terminal ui's)

  • lazydocker
  • spotify-client
  • ncdu
