How I do my computing
I use all three major desktop operating systems regularly, but I am currently rocking a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 11th generation with Fedora Linux. I also have a Ryzen desktop computer, an M2 Pro Mac Mini, and run a complex homelab setup with a multi-cloud environment (Hetzner, Vultr, AWS), 5 bare-metal hosts, all protected by a Wireguard VPN.
For editing code, I use Visual Studio Code with a Vim extension. I wrote a post on the extensions I use the most.
My shell of choice is zsh. My settings are published here.
My favourite imperative programming languages is Go, although I have also used Python, Java, and, to a lesser extent, Ruby in the past.
My favourite declarative programming language is Scala. I’ve used Prolog as well.
For my photo editing and graphical design needs, I rely on Affinity Photo, and Affinity Designer.
