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.
Installed in my Thinkpad T470. Choosing FreeBSD was more related to curiosity than necessity. I wanted to learn more about it, and I'm happy with the results. Even though it doesn't have the same support as Linux, it's a great experience.
Installed in my desktop computer. Due to NVIDIA drivers support, I decided to use Ubuntu. It's not my favorite operative system due to its poor package management.
For years I used bash, but I decided to switch to zsh due to its better plugin support.
My swiss army knife. I use it for everything since my first year of college.
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 it because of my JetBrains free license for students.
Not a fan of it, but there's no browser fitting my needs better than this one.
