I consider that a good workflow with the correct tools are essential to be productive. Who doesn't want to be comfortable and efficient? When I was in college, I was always looking to help my classmates with tools I found useful. I think that can be impactful for them, so I decided to share them here.
i use arch, btw...
I use Wayland with Sway as a window manager. For me, simplicity is key, and this setup allows me to have a minimalistic and efficient environment.
For years I used bash, but I decided to switch to zsh due to its better plugin support.
Neovim is my swiss army knife. I use it for everything since my first year of college.
WezTerm is, for me, one of the best software made in the last years. The only downside is that it's written in Rust (ugly).
I use DataGrip because of my JetBrains free license for students.
I'm not a fan of Firefox, but there's no browser fitting my needs better than this one.
