• ohmyzsh

  562 169,120 9.5 Shell

  🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.

  

Zsh along with Oh My Zsh has been my shell for years now. I make heavy use of the cdc and zsh-autosuggestions for moving between repos.

My VIM setup with Neovim has never been better. I've gone back and forth on using VsCode, Emacs, and JetBrains IDEs instead of VIM in the past, but I keep coming back. Almost every editor these days has VIM emulation, but at the end of the day only VIM is VIM. What I mean by that is even the best VIM emulator running in another editor falls short of the real thing in some way. I made a real effort to switch to Emacs at the end of 2021 by following System Crafters Emacs from Scratch series. The videos were really excellent and I learned a lot, but in the end, I couldn't quite get over the performance issues with Emacs and switched back to Neovim. I fully expect to maybe flop back and forth on this position in the future, so I'm very curious to see where I'm at a year from now.

Alacritty has been my terminal emulator of choice this year. It's easy to configure using yml files so I can share my configuration between machines. Tmux is a vital piece of my workflow for organizing my sessions and windows.

• website

  186 1,229 9.5 PHP

  The elementary.io website (by elementary)

  

I currently split time between Linux and macOS. I've been a Linux user for years and have primarily used Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based distros. I switched to elementary OS earlier this year and have really enjoyed it. Even though I have used Linux for a long time, I don't really enjoy fighting with updates or spending lots of time configuring my desktop environment. Elementary gives me the best out of the box experience I've found on Linux so far. All that being said, my Linux laptop is getting old, and I'm planning on buying a MacBook to replace it. I've been eyeing the M1 for awhile, and I think it's the best choice for me right now. If System 76 ever releases a laptop made in house like the Thelio or Launch Keyboard, I will definitely check it out.
