What I use
My dev computer runs Fedora
I used Windows 10 with Subsystem for Linux 2 for a long time
I wrote about how to set it up . Starting from scratch and ending with launching a project in Docker through a tricked out terminal.
Code Editor
The code editor I spend the most time in is Neovim. That used to be Visual Studio Code , which I still use for debugging.
Some of my favorite extensions for VSCode are:
- Theme - Night Owl
- Font - Fira Code with ligatures turned on.
- Icons - Material Icon Theme
- More Extensions - I gathered some of my favorites in a Twitter moment.
Terminal
I mainly use Alacritty
On Windows, when I'm not using the built-in terminal in VSCode, I use the Windows Terminal
Other Software
- Refined GitHub - Browser extension that adds useful features to the GitHub website.
- ShareX - Screenshot utility.
- f.lux - Adjusts screen temperature to the time of day.
Hardware
- PC - Self-assembled desktop (Feel free to ask me questions about it!)
- Keyboard - Ducky one 2 mini Pure White
- Mouse - Glorious Model O in Matte White
- Deskmat - Glorious XXL Extended
That deskmat is LARGE. Highly recommend.
🛠️⚙️ Physical tooltip/gear recommendation: A large mouse pad that covers your desk.
