<p>This post consists of all the hardware, software and other tools I use on a daily basis for all of my work. <strong>I am for tools that are lightweight, minimal and work fast on all types of devices.</strong></p>

<p>I have a custom-built computer that I bought in 2021. This was during the chip shortage but I needed a PC and could not wait as it was impacting my work. These are the specs:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>AMD Ryzen 5 5600X</li>
|
|
<li>Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti</li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://www.klevv.com/ken/products_details/memory/Klevv_CrasXRGB">Klevv CrasXRGB 32GB DDR4-3600</a></li>
|
|
<li>512GB + 1TB SSDs</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>These are my peripherals:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://www.tecware.co/phantom">Tecware Phantom 104</a> (modded with Akko CS Lavender Purple switches)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://www.tecware.co/exo">Tecware Exo L</a></li>

</ul>

<h3 id="laptop"><i class="fa fa-laptop" aria-hidden="true"></i>Laptop</h3>
|
|
<p>When I am on the go, I cannot sacrifice any of my work. This is why I use the HP ENVY x360 laptop. I was going to buy a ThinkPad but I am using this since it was a gift.</p>
|
|
<p>Specs:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Intel Core i7-1355U</li>
|
|
<li>32GB DDR5</li>
|
|
<li>512GB SSD</li>

</ul>

<h3 id="phone"><i class="fa fa-mobile" aria-hidden="true"></i>Phone</h3>
|
|
<p>I use the <a href="https://us.nothing.tech/pages/phone-1">Nothing Phone (1)</a>. It is a spectacular phone from a great new brand that keeps getting better with each update they release. It looks extremely cool with the glyph lights, which I find to be useful in some cases.</p>
|
|
<p>Along with my phone, I use the <a href="https://www.oneplus.com/us/product/oneplus-bullets-wireless-z">OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z</a></p>

|
|
<h3 id="basic">Basic</h3>
|
|
<p id="os"><i class="fa fa-linux" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Operating System (Linux Distribution):</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://archlinux.org/">Arch Linux</a>. I love its lightweight and do-it-yourself nature. It gives me more control over what is installed on my PC.</p>
|
|
<p id="wm"><i class="fa fa-window-maximize" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Window Manager:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://xmonad.org/">Xmonad</a>. It is lightweight and uses <a href="https://www.haskell.org/">Haskell</a> as its language. I have tinkered around a lot and reached a setup that I love.</p>
|
|
<p id="terminal"><i class="fa fa-terminal" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Terminal Emulator:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://alacritty.org/">Alacritty</a>. It is fast and works really well. I love the 24-bit colours especially.</p>
|
|
<p id="shell"><i class="fa fa-code-fork" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Shell:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell">zsh</a> due to its speed and features like autocomplete and plugins.</p>
|
|
<p id="text"><i class="fa fa-file-text" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Text Editor:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://neovim.io/">Neovim</a> for my text editing and will never switch to another program. It is fast, versatile, extensible and extremely lightweight. Most importantly, it works extremely well for my usecase.</p>
|
|
<p id="web"><i class="fa fa-firefox" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Web Browser:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://librewolf.net/">Librewolf</a> with two profiles. For more information, <a style="color:#bd93f9" href="https://sufyaan.cyou/browser/">view my post on my browser setup</a>.</p>

|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://keepass.info/">KeePass</a> with <a href="https://syncthing.net/">Syncthing</a>. KeePass is incredibly secure. Read <a style="color:#bd93f9" href="https://sufyaan.cyou/kpst">this post</a> for more information.</p>
|
|
<p id="notes"><i class="fa fa-sticky-note" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Notes:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki">VimWiki</a> also with <a href="https://syncthing.net/">Syncthing</a>. I use the <a href="https://github.com/gsantner/markor">Markor</a> app on my phone to view the notes. Read <a style="color:#bd93f9" href="vimwiki">this post</a> for more information.</p>
|

<h3 id="utilities">Utilities</h3>
|
|
<p id="files"><i class="fa fa-folder" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>File Manager:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I have <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/thunar">Thunar</a> installed but I do not use it most of the time. I use the terminal for most of my file management.</p>
|
|
<p id="media"><i class="fa fa-video-camera" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Media Player:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://mpv.io/">MPV</a>, the best media player on the planet. It is fast, <a style="color:#50fa7b" href="https://sufyaan.cyou/definitions/free-software/">free software</a> and infinitely extensible.</p>
|
|
<p id="rss"><i class="fa fa-rss" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>RSS Reader:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use <a href="https://newsboat.org/index.html">Newsboat</a> since it reduces the need for me to go to all of my websites separately.</p>
|
|
<p id="pdf"><i class="fa fa-file-pdf-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>PDF Viewer:</em></p>
|
|
<p><a href="https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/">Zathura</a> all the way. I am never switching to anything else. It is just so fast and simple.</p>
|
|
<p id="image"><i class="fa fa-file-image-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Image Viewer:</em></p>
|
|
<p><a href="https://github.com/nsxiv/nsxiv">nsxiv</a> is what I use. It is just like Zathura; fast and efficient.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="production">Production</h3>
|
|
<p id="rec"><i class="fa fa-desktop" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Recording and Streaming:</em></p>
|
|
<p>I use FFmpeg to record and encode my screen recordings. I use <a href="https://kdenlive.org/en/">Kdenlive</a> to edit my videos. In case of streaming, I use <a href="https://obsproject.com/">OBS Studio</a> to stream.</p>
|
|
<p id="writing"><i class="fa fa-pencil" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Writing:</em></p>
|
|
<p><a style="color:#bd93f9" href="https://sufyaan.cyou/plaintext">I write in plaintext formats as much as possible</a>. When writing posts or other formatted notes, I use <a style="color:#50fa7b" href="https://sufyaan.cyou/definitions/markdown">Markdown (.md)</a> and I use <a href="https://www.latex-project.org">LaTeX</a> for documents.</p>
|
|
<p id="image-editing"><i class="fa fa-picture-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><em>Image Editing:</em></p>
|
|
<p>This is perhaps the only non-free software I use. I use <a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html">Adobe Photoshop</a></p>
|
|
<h2 id="conclusion"><i class="fa fa-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>Conclusion</h2>
|
|
<p>These are all of the tools I use. They may change in the future, but there is a low chance of that happening since I have gotten used to all of these amazing tools.</p>
