Tools that I use

Software

Editor

I use Helix Editor because of the project’s policy of minimalism in implementing core features and also because I like Rust. I’ve used Neovim in the past but ultimately wasn’t satisfied with the plugin dependency soup.

OS

I like NixOS because I can declare systems exactly how I want, reuse software components, and worry less about losing any material possessions! For gaming, I use a system running Bazzite

Terminal

Kitty but I think Alacritty is cool too

Web browser

Heavily configured Firefox.

Email Proton Mail served from Thunderbird

Search Kagi

Weather Supercell Wx
