My linux setup

Here is an incomplete list of softwares and setups on my laptops, which I try to keep track of.

Terms connected by & mean that they are utilised on different laptops. Terms connected by + mean that they are used together on one (or both) laptop(s).

• Linux distributions: Xubuntu 24.04 & Fedora 41 (i3 spin).
• Shell: fish & zsh.
  • Having said that, my scripts are always written in Bash.
• Terminal: xfce4-terminal & kitty.
• Window manager: i3 + i3status + picom.
• File manager: Thunar + yazi.
• Symlink/dotfile manager: GNU Stow.
• LaTeX distribution: TeX Live.
• LaTeX editor: Vim 9.1 + VimTeX + UltiSnips.
  • I have learnt quite much from the excellent blogs written by Gilles Castel. It is a great regret that I can never convey my gratitude to him directly.
• Web browser: Firefox + Vimium + Dark Reader.
• Email client: Alpine.
  • Since the webmail of Leiden University runs on Outlook, I have to find a client that supports OAuth 2.0. Somehow, Alpine is the simplest one.
• PDF viewer: zathura.
  • Also for djvu, ps and cb.
• Media player: mpv.
  • The mpv contained in Fedora’s default repo is not complete, due to the non-freeness of certain codecs. A solution is to install mpv from RPMFusion.
• Synchronisation: Syncthing.
• Agenda: Taskwarrior + VimWiki + Taskwiki.
