/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.
Tbd.
Organization
Calendar via Google Calendar, Contacts via Google Contacts, Notes via Google Keep, Files via Google Drive.
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
RSS reader
Bookmarks
Raindrop.
Cloud storage
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).
