Apps
| Function | Program | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terminal | Foot | Codeberg | I used to use Kitty, which is excellent, but I barely used any of its "defining features", foot is so much lighter and faster to boot / use. I've only switched recently but have been absolutely loving it! |
| Launcher | Vicinae | GitHub | Was recommended it by a friend, 0 complaints. It's awesome. |
| File Manager | Thunar | GitHub | Thunar is great when you're in, but it takes an annoyingly long time to open. Looking to change this in the future, so watch this space! Tried out yazi for a while but couldn't really get into it... might give it another go! |
| Browser | Brave | Website | Used to use zen but never really clicked with the layout. |
| Text Editor | nvim | Website | I'm relatively new to nvim but have been loving it so far. Can definitely feel how expansive it can be! |
| IDE | Depends... | JetBrains, Android Studio | I'm trying to replace everything with nvim, but currently I use the Jetbrains Tools & Android Studio for most of my work! |
| Notes | Obsidian/TiNote | Obsidian | For my university notes I use Obsidian, however for jotting down ideas I use TiNote, which is an unreleased note taking app project I made a few months back. |
| Virtualisation | VMM | Website | I have a seperate drive for Windows 11, however I also have a Windows 11 VM, as well as a terminal-only NixOS machine. |
