From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I work with backend web development, so running code could not be any easier, normally there's a docker image setup watch for changes, recompile and execute.
My text editor is Kakoune, after learning the keybindings I just cannot go back to vim or vscode, selection based editing just makes so much sense to me.
I use NixOS, which comes in handy for keeping my home and office computers in-sync. I also use nix shells to declare the tools necessary to develop each project.
As for window management I use sway, one big window for kakoune to the left, other terminals for docker/tests/git to the right.
I tried to get into window management but it was a bit much at the time. I will retry soon.
I have one big 48 inch 4k screen, so a window manager will definitely be a big plus.
