Software I use

Configuration for most things listed here is on my GitHub.

Operating System

Arch Linux. I used Windows and macOS before - switched to macOS in 2023, then moved to Linux in mid-2025. I like Arch for the control it gives you over every package on the system.

Window Manager

A heavily modified build of dwm, with dmenu as my launcher and dwmblocks as my status bar. I’ve tried MangoWC on Wayland as well, but I need X11 for some work software.

Terminal

st - minimal codebase, single binary, customization through the source code.

Text Editor

(neo)vim. The keyboard-based workflow is far more efficient than any GUI editor I’ve used. Still learning. I also use LibreOffice for documents that need proper formatting.

Web Browser

LibreWolf - a hardened Firefox fork without tracking and telemetry. I use it with the following extensions:

For sites that don’t work in Firefox, I fall back to ungoogled-chromium.

Mail Client

aerc, synced offline via mbsync with goimapnotify for notifications.

Document / Image Viewer

Zathura with zathura-pdf-mupdf for PDFs. nsxiv for images.

Audio / Video

I mostly listen to music on my iPod, but at my computer I use mpd with ncmpcpp. beets for tagging, mpv for video.
