## Why I use what I use

### Arch

Mostly because of the customizability and the active community around it.

### Wayland

X11 is really old and bloated. Wayland is not perfect, but every day it gets

better ([wlroots repo](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/tree/master/))

### Sway

I really don't like the i3 way of managing windows, however sway is right now

the most complete wayland WM. Personally, I prefer the bspwm and dwm behaviour,

but i don't trust river at the moment. Maybe later I will try it.

pros:

- Great multi monitor support

- details like the lid:off event are nice

- customisable

cons:

- i hate selecting where the next window goes, it should be done automatically

  like dwm and bspwm.

### ZSH

I used to snob Zsh and believe Bash is better, but it turns out it's great.

Just don't use oh-my-zsh.

### Alacritty

I really don't have any strong opinions on this one, it looks like alacritty

and kitty are the best terminals right now. I am thinking of moving to st, but

I don't know if it's worth it.

### Neovim

The best text editor currently. Lua works great, treesitter is great, the

plugin community is very active. It really is getting better every day.

I used to prefer Vim but now I find it very finicky, plus I find the version 9

concept weird. Neovim+Lua is much better than Vim+Vimscript.

Also treesitter is great and the native LSP is amazing.

### Thunar

Honestly, I think terminal file managers are a gimmick. I have tried lf and

ranger in the past, however they were really unintuitive.

Nowadays I rarely use it, I do most file managing with cp, mv etc, however

when I need to move some folders around, it's much easier.

### Waybar

Very configurable, really nice, I like the modules. I wish it didn't come with

GTK.

### Chromium

Honestly, firefox is bloated. It's kinda scary how succesfull chrome is,

however it's a really good browser. Used to use ungoogled-chromium, maybe I'll

go back.

### PNPM

NPM, but better. Honestly I don't see why one would use npm anymore. The speed

is really satisfying
