Uses
Editor + Terminal
I use the gnome-terminal that ships with Linux Mint’s Cinnamon Edition with bash and a custom prompt from starship. The editor I use depends on what code I am working with:
- Web, Python: VS Code
- Rust: VS Code or CLion
- Android: Android Studio
- Kotlin (outside Android): IntelliJ IDEA
I also tend to use nano for quick edits on the terminal. Fight me.
CLI tooling
My love for Rust extends deep into the CLI, and a lot of GNU tools are replaced with their Rust reimplementations for better performance and useful features. Notably, the replacements are:
| GNU version | Rust version | Link |
|---|---|---|
cat | bat | GitHub |
cd | zoxide | GitHub |
du | diskus | GitHub |
find | fd | GitHub |
grep | ripgrep | GitHub |
I have begun using Homebrew to maintain software on my machines so you can see most stuff I have on my PC in this Brewfile. I now officially despise Homebrew, and use Nix instead. Yes, I’m fickle, how’d you guess?
