Dotfiles can be viewed here (emacs config in a separate repo).

Terminal Emulator

I mainly use st because it starts up instantly. I occassionally use alacritty since fonts and emojis are currently broken on my build.

Shell

zsh. It's a better interactive shell that isn't fish. I wouldn't use fish because I'm used to writing bash syntax.

Window Manager

I use bspwm. It's very easy to configure, and you can easily script it. I've noticed as more time passes, the more logic I include in my configuration file.

Text Editing

I've been a Neovim user for a few years, but recently, I have switched to Emacs. What I really like about Emacs is that you if some small functionality is missing, you can easily write it.

I wouldn't say Emacs Lisp is the greatest language, but it is the most fun language to write in.

File Manager

I'm either going to be manually managing my files on the command line or using a GUI, usually Thunar. I do not like TUI file managers because I'm too slow for them.

Web Browser

I use Firefox.

Document Editing

I used to write my documents using LaTeX, but now I usually write them in Org Mode because it's a lot more convenient and does more stuff.
