My Dotfiles

I've written a post about this setup on my website, with extra tips and explanations.

These are my configuration files for Linux — I'm currently using the Artix distro —; I focus a lot on minimalism. Anyway, I currently use:

• Kitty as my terminal, very fast and supports font ligatures
• Fira Code as my default monospaced, ligated font; and Cantarell as my non-monospaced default font
• Neovim as my in-terminal editor
• Emacs as my editor for software projects
  • With Evil Mode
  • VS Code as a backup editor
• XMonad as a Window Manager
  • Awesome is my alternative, backup window manager, mostly for when XMonad breaks, which happens sometimes after an update.
• XMonad.Prompt as an application launcher
• ranger as an in-terminal file manager
• Krusader as my GUI file manager
  • And Nemo for quick stuff
• qutebrowser as my default browser
  • Brave with cVim, is my backup
• Zathura as a Vim-like way of viewing PDFs
  • However Okular is still a big part of my workflow, specially when it comes to long books
  • And Calibre as an ebook file converter.
• Ferdi as my messenger-unifying browser.
  • Irssi as my IRC TUI.
• Sabaki as my Go SGF editor.

Another very important part of my setup is my organization. For that, besides the usual Linux standard folders, I have some other specific folders — which I've later on confirmed some other high profile programmers also use —:

• ~/Code/ for where I put all of my coding.
• ~/Notes/ where I store my mostly Markdown notes about various topics. It's currently around 3k+.
• ~/Library/ is the place where all of my eBooks go. It's my digitized library and so much more. All of my study sessions nowadays are clutter-free in the real life — and I'm thinking about digitizing my own self as well.

I also use some custom command-line programs which help create a more modern environment, like Rust's exa and bat. Another strong recommendation I have is the amazing fzf multi-tool, which also happens to have strong Vim integration through a plugin.

As an extra, here is neofetch's output on my machine:
