My computing experience

These are the things I use in my day-to-day computing experience both at home and work. As I enjoy working from my computer and tweaking it, I recommend them all.

My configuration files for some of these softwares can be found on my dotfiles repo on GitJoe.

Software

• Text editing

  Custom configured GNU Emacs to be used with vim key bindings. It is not the most lightweight editor out there but I love my config for all kind of coding or text editing. I use the GUI version.

• OS

  FreeBSD 13 is my OS of choice.

• Window manager

  dwm is my favorite tiling window manager and the only one I use for it very light and highly extensible.

• Terminal emulator

  st is my favorite terminal emulator. Just like dwm, it's very light and highly extensible.

• Shell

  I use zsh as my only interactive shell.

• Software

  Here is a small list of programs I use frequently. Most are terminal-based.
  • web browser: Mozilla Firefox for most web browsing. I also use w3m and lynx quite a lot.
  • file manager: lf
  • image viewer: nsxiv
  • video player: mpv
  • music player: mpd + ncmpc
  • pdf viewer: zathura
  • RSS feed reader: newsboat
  • email client: neomutt running with isync and msmtp
  • address book: abook
  • calendar: calcurse
  • IRC client: irssi
