What os? What ide? What plug-ins?

Bazzite and Kinote though I use distrobox and k8s alot for messing with other distros/apps. Vscodium and neovim. Vscodium is loaded up with nearly anything IaC or kubernetes related and Continue for some AI stuff (pointed to local and mistrial). Also heavy opinionated stuff for Python like black, etc (I want my ide to yell at me to make better code). Some GitHub and git lab add-ons too. Nvim is just as is.
KDE Neon, with Icons-Only task manager and global menu in a top bar. I have shortcuts for moving between activities and custom one for “show in all/show only in current activity” with a KWin script. Window rules for everything to open in the correct activity. Neon is not super stable but it’s nice and fun to get the latest KDE stuff.
IDE is Neovim and Rider (Jetbrains)
Neovim config is kickstart.nvim + autosave, noice-ui, commentary, luasnip and harpoon.
Rider has Nyan progress bar, key promoter X, Ideavim and gittoolbox. I want to move to Neovim but debugger experience is very good in Rider. ctrl+p and alt+tab, Navigation is a bit too slow for me.
Also bash, it’s big part of my development environment since I really like using the terminal and making alias and functions for everything. I have “clipboard filepath - > js code generator - > clipboard” stuff for example and it’s nice to just type
gen -tsto convert C# class to TS interface ready to paste. Play/pause media withp, navigate to project and start itname [all, start, cs].refto fuzzy find a git branch and switch to it. Log how many hours I worked withlogtimeetc. I hate bash as a language but as a tool to interact with the computer I love deeply because you can automate a stupid amount of stuff.Also, no mouse, just trackpad for when I’m forced to use it which is not that often even though I’m in webdev (vimium plugin for browsers MVP there).
Debian at home, Rocky Linux at work
VSCodium or Godot depending on what I’m working on.
Whatever language support via LSP is available for VSCodium, Prettier, I’ll have to check the rest. Nothing that drastically changes the experience. Basically whatever does auto formatting, code completion(without using “AI”), and error highlighting.
Windows:
KATE + RemedyBG
Linux:
KATE + Seer

DE: KDE Plasma
I use vim for light edits. Currently using VSCodium, but am slowly trying out Kate. I use codeberg as Version Control, and Konsole as the terminal.
I also have notepadqq (a native alternative to notepad++), but prefer vim and am also trying to switch to Kate.
Arch -> i3 -> terminator -> tmux -> nvim.
Nvim is IDE and vim for quick edits.
LXC/incus and podman containers
Usually use Debian for server administration but have recently been using fedora and rocky Linux and other rpm based distros for their easier use of podman configurations (quadlets). I don’t really recommend using fedora as a server (unless it’s in an incus container) but I got into it as CentOS was deprecating and the podman systemd setup was catching on at the time and fedora was handling it the best at the time.
Dropped out of GitHub for the most part and getting acclimated with codeberg and forgejo.
Use librewolf for browsing and firefox-developer-edition with many profiles for testing and development. Qutebrowser for reading documentation.
why i3 and tmux? resume?
For clean separation and keyboard use.
I don’t know if i3 is the best tiling manager but it’s the one I use and I like it. The reason I like using the tiling manager with tmux is that I never have to use the mouse. I have a different environment in different each window.
super+1 is main tmux development area.
super+2 might be remote server tmux area.
super+3 might be development browser views
super+4 might be my Qutebrowser with documentation texts.
super+5 is note taking apps.
super+6 libreWolf for regular browsing, etc.
And I can have multiple things going on in each window but all I have to do is press super+f to make a tmux session (or whatever app) full screen. For instance in super+1, I might have one tmux, session for local development and one for the incus server I’ll working in.
In tmux I have over 10 different sessions going on. So I can quickly go to any number of apps I’m working on or to my utils session where I do most of my cpu checks. One session is just for browsers I keep open so I can keep track of them easily and/or kill them quickly with Ctrl+c. This has the added benefit of always keeping my tabs saved when I open them back up.
In my tmux app sessions lies nvim which is a great ide. I keep one tab window open for git doings. One for backend nvin instance. And one for frontend nvim instance. Then one open for the server and other terminal related stuff. Another for database.
Just makes organization easier.

Lmde7, nvchad set up with some linters and autocompletion.
- OS:
- Arch Linux or OpenBSD, depending in how I feel
- Editor:
- Micro on Linux
- mg(1) on OpenBSD
- Plug-ins:
- Micro has support for a few linters, which is all I really need
- mg(1), meanwhile, doesn’t even have syntax highlighting
- Terminal:
- Kitty on Linux
- XTerm on OpenBSD
- Shell:
- Zsh on Linux
- ksh on OpenBSD
- Version Control:
- Git is the only realistic option (though Mercurial and Fossil are nice)
- Code Hosting:
- Usually Codeberg
- I also have sourcehut
- My Formula Student team uses GitLab
- My university and another society use GitHub 🤮
I usually licence my work under GPL if it’s a large project, or Beerware if it’s something smaller (or if it’s for internal use in one of my societies).
Any coursework I do, however, gets licenced under BSD-3-clause. For this, GPL would be too restrictive and Beerware would be too informal, and BSD-3-clause is a nice middle-ground (as far as I’m concerned).
- OS:
A messy bedroom.
Linux (Debian) with neovim. Telescope and Treesitter and the big plugins I use but I use a bunch of other smaller ones as well.
At my last job I did a bunch of Rust, this job I do mostly Go.
Varies a bit with job, but by far the most in the last 15 years:
Linux (Debian), Emacs, tiling window manager (i3/sway/stumpwm), also gollum wiki + org-mode for writing docs. For small quick edits, I use vim.
On the job, I write mostly C++/Python/Go/Rust, at home more Rust, Python, and the Lisps.
What do you use rust for?
At work:
- geometric computations in a Performance-sensitive optimization algorithm that was drafted in Python. After confirmation, the whole algorithm was rewritten to C++, which was fine since it was part of a large science experiment
- rewriting / wrapping some middleware + APIs so that other people can transition new work to rust. The resulting interfaces turned out very pleasant to use!
At home:
- building command-line software for my Gemini PDA. This is an ARM device and Rust is far easier to cross-compile than C++.
- Implementing a larger optimization & solver algorithm (a few thousand lines) which I coded some time ago in Clojure. Very easy to parallize.
Arch Linux, hyprland/quickshell
Kitty/konsole
VSCodium (+ a very few plugins) / Kate
It varies a bit, but
OS: Win11
IDE: Jetbrains IDEs (Rider, intellij, Webstorm) with a side of notepad++ and vscode, primarily for notes, Snippets and misc file types
Shell: PowerShell 7
Git: builtin for jetbrains tools and otherwise my own custom PowerShell wrapper on git cli
Macos M1 Pro, Tmux + zsh, Neovim Full stack developer, not gaming
