Linux, KDevelop, C++

Windows ME. Notepad.

At work my OS on my workstation is Windows 11. In an average month I use C#, C++, Python, and Javascript. I usually have at least one instance of VS code and VS pro open. I also use Rider because we use plug-ins for one project. Everything is pretty default except the layout I use.

At home my dev PC is rynning on Kubuntu and I use VS code as an IDE. I use whatever language fits the team/project. When I can choose I mainly use C# or Rust. After using C# at school and your first job outside of school, you get really fast at expressing yourself in C#.

For me my keyboard is an import because I want a consistent feel wherever I am. So for typing I use the same clicky switches on my coding keyboards with keycaps that have the same shape and profile.

OS: Arch DM: Niri Terminal: Kitty Editor: Helix

OS: Ubuntu IDE: IntelliJ for Java/Kotlin, VSCode for Scala, sometimes Helix for particular files

Gentoo, Neovim.

I should switch to Helix, if I ever find the time.

Debian at home, Rocky Linux at work

VSCodium or Godot depending on what I’m working on.

Whatever language support via LSP is available for VSCodium, Prettier, I’ll have to check the rest. Nothing that drastically changes the experience. Basically whatever does auto formatting, code completion(without using “AI”), and error highlighting.

Bazzite and Kinote though I use distrobox and k8s alot for messing with other distros/apps. Vscodium and neovim. Vscodium is loaded up with nearly anything IaC or kubernetes related and Continue for some AI stuff (pointed to local and mistrial). Also heavy opinionated stuff for Python like black, etc (I want my ide to yell at me to make better code). Some GitHub and git lab add-ons too. Nvim is just as is.

KDE Neon, with Icons-Only task manager and global menu in a top bar. I have shortcuts for moving between activities and custom one for “show in all/show only in current activity” with a KWin script. Window rules for everything to open in the correct activity. Neon is not super stable but it’s nice and fun to get the latest KDE stuff.

IDE is Neovim and Rider (Jetbrains)

Neovim config is kickstart.nvim + autosave, noice-ui, commentary, luasnip and harpoon.

Rider has Nyan progress bar, key promoter X, Ideavim and gittoolbox. I want to move to Neovim but debugger experience is very good in Rider. ctrl+p and alt+tab, Navigation is a bit too slow for me.

Also bash, it’s big part of my development environment since I really like using the terminal and making alias and functions for everything. I have “clipboard filepath - > js code generator - > clipboard” stuff for example and it’s nice to just type gen -ts to convert C# class to TS interface ready to paste. Play/pause media with p, navigate to project and start it name [all, start, cs]. ref to fuzzy find a git branch and switch to it. Log how many hours I worked with logtime etc. I hate bash as a language but as a tool to interact with the computer I love deeply because you can automate a stupid amount of stuff.

Also, no mouse, just trackpad for when I’m forced to use it which is not that often even though I’m in webdev (vimium plugin for browsers MVP there).

OS: Debian (Trixie)

DE: KDE Plasma

I use vim for light edits. Currently using VSCodium, but am slowly trying out Kate. I use codeberg as Version Control, and Konsole as the terminal.

I also have notepadqq (a native alternative to notepad++), but prefer vim and am also trying to switch to Kate.

Windows:

KATE + RemedyBG

Linux:

KATE + Seer

Windows 11

Notepad (new)

Co-pilot

ChatGPT Agent to prompt copilot for me.

(This is a joke)

Arch -> i3 -> terminator -> tmux -> nvim.

Nvim is IDE and vim for quick edits.

LXC/incus and podman containers

Usually use Debian for server administration but have recently been using fedora and rocky Linux and other rpm based distros for their easier use of podman configurations (quadlets). I don’t really recommend using fedora as a server (unless it’s in an incus container) but I got into it as CentOS was deprecating and the podman systemd setup was catching on at the time and fedora was handling it the best at the time.

Dropped out of GitHub for the most part and getting acclimated with codeberg and forgejo.

Use librewolf for browsing and firefox-developer-edition with many profiles for testing and development. Qutebrowser for reading documentation.

• OS:
  • Arch Linux or OpenBSD, depending in how I feel
• Editor:
  • Micro on Linux
  • mg(1) on OpenBSD
• Plug-ins:
  • Micro has support for a few linters, which is all I really need
  • mg(1), meanwhile, doesn’t even have syntax highlighting
• Terminal:
  • Kitty on Linux
  • XTerm on OpenBSD
• Shell:
  • Zsh on Linux
  • ksh on OpenBSD
• Version Control:
  • Git is the only realistic option (though Mercurial and Fossil are nice)
• Code Hosting:
  • Usually Codeberg
  • I also have sourcehut
  • My Formula Student team uses GitLab
  • My university and another society use GitHub 🤮

I usually licence my work under GPL if it’s a large project, or Beerware if it’s something smaller (or if it’s for internal use in one of my societies).

Any coursework I do, however, gets licenced under BSD-3-clause. For this, GPL would be too restrictive and Beerware would be too informal, and BSD-3-clause is a nice middle-ground (as far as I’m concerned).

Lmde7, nvchad set up with some linters and autocompletion.
