Lenovo V15 G3 with an Intel Core i3-1215U, 8GB RAM + 8GB zram (because who needs to buy more RAM when you have compression?)

terminal & shell:

alacritty terminal because its simple

yash. yes. really. THAT yash.

discord: zeldahreal

editor:

Eclipse for Java + web dev plugins for the website

micro for small edits where i don't need an IDE.

i also have a fully nix managed nvim config at git.gay/zeldareal.YAWNit's yet another weird nvim, nothing out of the ordinary.

browser:

Waterfox, i don't want librewolf levels of privacy and i don't want basic firefox/floorp either.

music:

lollypop for local music playback.

nicotine+ for... acquiring music. you know how it is.

communication:

Vesktop over discord because vanilla and lacks basic features.

Joplin for journaling and note-taking. markdown-based, local-first, exactly what I need.

file management:

nemo for GUI and yazi for when im in the terminal

version control:

sourcehut and git.gay over GitLab over GitHub. I use git.gay for hosting most my repos because the domain is incredible, however i'm slowly moving onto sourcehut + mercurial.

gaming

mostly steam: proton experimental for Windows games and Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 for linux games

Prism Launcher for minecart because its the best launcher and you cannot change my mind

Sober for roblox because theyre too lazy to make a penguin port

dotfiles

nix config where everything is managed with Nix flakes and organized with flake-parts. my entire system config lives at git.gay/zeldareal/zelda-nix if you want to see how the jingies are thingied

website source is also on sourcehut at hg.sr.ht/~/zelda/website.
