/uses

The following is a collection of tools helping me with my digital and work life. My main focus lies in applications that are open source and usable across operating systems. This is a collection in progress, so check back or subscribe to updates to know when there is something new to know about.

Operating system

Ubuntu is my main operating system. I use it on my desktop, and it’s running on a server I am using. The last time I used Windows on my desktop was in 2004.

Productivity

Todoist is my main task manager. I use it to manage my tasks, and I am using it to manage my projects. I am using it on the phone, via the Linux app, and via web interface.

I stay up to date with news and development by using Feedly as online feed reader.

Privacy and security

My password manager of choice is Enpass and I am using it on all my devices.

Notes, drafts and writing

For handwritten notes I am using reMarkable and for digital notes I am using Joplin.

Shell and terminal

To be written… Default Terminal with a bunch of Dotfiles.

Code Editor

To be written… VSCode, PHPStorm, Sublime Text

Look and feel

To be written… Nothing ;) I stopped trying to optimize my look and feel. I am using the default theme of Ubuntu and the default theme of VSCode.

UI

To be written… Isn’t that what Look and Feel is about?

Extensions

To be written… Not sure what I was thinking here… I am using a lot of extensions in VSCode, but I am not sure if I want to list them all here.

Hardware

To be written… Two mediocre all in one stations, one by Acer (never again), one by HP (fake strong).
