Free and Open-source +1. Uncomplicated, simple to use +1. Lightweight +1. Fast + +### Operating systems +* [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org): The best linux distro for most people, since installing packages is very convenient using the AUR and has a great wiki. +* [Gentoo](https://gentoo.org): Unique operating system with a proper wiki, see my [post](../posts/gentoo.html) about it. +* [Void](https://voidlinux.org): Great linux distros free from filthy systemd and glibc. +* [Debian](https://www.debian.org/): Easy to install and use, the best distro for beginners. +* [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/): Simple operating system with a clean and elegant codebase. +* Ubuntu: Debian done wrong with snaps. +* Manjaro: Same as ubuntu except even worse doesn't even work properly. + +### Programming languages +* C: Portable assembly, basically the default programming language for unix. +* Go: Modern version of C, very convenient and safe to write programs in. +* Posix Shell: Concise and convenient for scripts and small programs. +* C++: Bloated, not safe and a mess, every bad piece of software I've ever used were written in c++. + +### Window managers +* [DWM](https://dwm.suckless.org): At first a little hard to configure but at the end totally worth it. +* [BSPWM](https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm): Best static window manager, easy to configure with and an extraordinary tool called bspc. +* [i3wm](https://i3wm.org/): An average window manager, good for beginners. + +### Text editors +* Vim and [Nvim](https://neovim.io/): Just way too convenient to be real. +* JetBrains IDEs: Bloated, heavy, overcomplicated and costs money(?). + +### Browser +* [Qutebrowser](https://www.qutebrowser.org/): Has vim-keybinds making it very convenient to use. +* [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/): Sometimes, you need a bloated browser to view bloated sites. + +### Terminal and terminal Utilities +* [st](https://st.suckless.org/): Terminal emulator. +* [cmus](https://cmus.github.io/): Music player. +* [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/): Interactive shell. +* [dash](http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/): Shell script interpreter. +* [lf](https://github.com/gokcehan/lf): File manager. + +### Xorg utilities +* [dmenu](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/): Interactive menu to select items. +* [slstatus](https://tools.suckless.org/slstatus/): Status monitor. +* [mpv](https://mpv.io/): Media player. +* [nsxiv](https://nsxiv.codeberg.page/): Image viewer. +* [zathura](https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/): pdf viewer. + +### Other +* [smu](https://github.com/Gottox/smu): markdown to html compiler +* [git](https://git-scm.com/): I like git, like everyone else. + +## About hardware +I don't really care about hardware because it is easily replacable and I am fine with whatever just works, +as long as it not expensive (in most cases overpriced). If you use proper software any hardware should get the job done. + +I am not going to shill thinkpads like everyone else though I think they are fine, to me the only thing +that makes thinkpad different from others is the fact that they are librebootable and really cheap. -- cgit v1.2.3
