Software and Hardware I Use

In this section, I will provide information about the software and hardware I use, along with the reasons behind my choices.

Basic

Operating System: I use Arch Linux because it works better for my daily tasks, such as programming, gaming, and writing. One of its standout features is its excellent documentation, which I consider god-like in its detail, along with the AUR. These resources make it incredibly easy to install software, eliminating the need to download shady installers from unreliable sources. Additionally, I use the linux-zen kernel, which is optimized for everyday tasks, providing better performance and stability.
Terminal Emulator: I use Kitty because it works seamlessly right out of the box.
Shell: I prefer Bash as my shell because it's simple and reliable and it just works.
Window Manager / Desktop Environment: I use dwm, a lightweight and precompiled window manager written in C. Like most tools I use, it’s simple and effective. For my status bar, I use dwmblocks.
Text Editor: For most of my tasks, I rely on neovim. However, for code editing I prefer VSCodium with the neovim plugin enabled for consistency.
Web Browser: Librewolf is my go-to browser for everyday use, but I also have Brave installed as a backup in case something doesn’t work properly with Gecko.

Gaming: I use Steam because it's very proactive in bringing gaming to Linux. I also use Lutris for games that aren't available on Steam or Itch.io. While I like the idea of the GOG Game Launcher, I don't use it since it's not available on my operating system.
File manager: I primarily use Thunar along with the simple cd command for navigating directories
Mail Client: I use Thunderbird.
Video Player: Without a doubt, the best video player is mpv.
Music/audio player: I typically use mpv or just stream directly in the browser.
Torrent Client: I currently use qBittorrent.

GameDev: Currently I am learning Bevy, since I really enjoyed using Rust. I have experience using the Godot engine, which was the first engine I learned. I chose it because it is the only fully-featured, open-source engine that is truly free, "as in freedom". Also I have some experience using Raylib and C++.
Music: For music production, I use LMMS, Audacity, and Musescore. If you're looking for a good chiptune tracker, Furnace is an excellent option.
Documents: I rely on LaTeX because there’s really no tool that can compete with it. If I had known about it earlier, I would have saved a ton of time.
Presentations: For presentations, I use Sent by suckless. It can display text, show media, and is edited through a simple text file—what more do you need?
PDF viewer: I use Zathura for viewing PDFs.
Image viewer: My go-to image viewer is FEH.
Image modification: For image editing, I use Krita and Pixelorama, but I'm planning to try GIMP in the future.

Laptop: I use a ThinkPad X220, which is capable of handling my everyday portable tasks, but I am already looking into the next device for this purpose.
PC: My desktop is an Acer NITRO, purchased for its great price-to-performance ratio. It features an RTX 3060, an 11th-gen i5 processor, and 16GB of RAM. I use the open-source NVIDIA driver, which works seamlessly with Xorg.
Phone: I have a Google Pixel 5 with GrapheneOS installed. I'm not particularly a fan of phones, but I do prioritize privacy.

Things That Aren't Supported on Linux: I mean, how could I?
Epic Games Products: They are trying to win the gaming market by worsening players' experience; this is unacceptable.
Subscribtion Services: I prefer owning my property rather than borrowing it.
