My machines:
- M1 MacBook Air: runs the latest macOS
- Framework Laptop 13: runs the latest Fedora KDE Spin
- ThinkPad X270: retired for now
- UGreen DXP2800: my NAS
I spend a lot of time in my terminal emulator and (Neo) vim.
I cannot function without a tiling window manager; on macOS, I use Aerospace, and on Linux, Sway or KDE with Krohnkite script.
You can find all other tools and config files in my dotfiles repository.
k. what else do you like?
