Things I use and like
Software
Laptop (Linux)
- Distro: CachyOS
- Display Manager: SDDM
- Desktop Environment: SwayWM
- Status Bar: Waybar
- Colorscheme: I use Gruvbox dark everywhere I can.
- Text Editor: VIM
- Launcher: Rofi
- Notifications: Dunst
- Screenshots: Flameshot
- Mail: Mutt-Wizard (Automated configuration for Neomutt)
- Calendar and Reminders: Remind paired with remind-caldav to sync to my self-hosted caldav server. I have it set up to where incoming events from the other software are given their own calendar/rem file which I then treat as read-only. I also use tkremind (bundled with Remind, but you likely need to install extra dependencies) when I want a visual frontend for my calendars.
- Kitchen Timer: Tymr (The absolute perfect timer app. Easy to set timers of completely arbitrary lengths on the fly, has a method to keep timers across computer reboots, sane defaults with a sound and notification when the timer completes...)
- Notes: NB
- Image Editor: Krita (or Photopea, though that's a web app. It opens some esoteric proprietary filetypes and has a good text tool)
- Sprite Editor: Aseprite
- Password Manager: KeepassXC
- Browser: Vivaldi
- Backups: Rsync
- Cross-device syncing: Syncthing
- Misc:
Browser Extensions (Chromium-based)

- Unhook (Youtube fixer)
- XKit Rewritten (Tumblr fixer)
