Dotfiles here. Primary shell is zsh.
For desktop environment, I used Cinnamon, until 06.2021 (midway during Fedora usage), after which I created a custom configuration, based around the openbox window manager. Exact programs used for my “desktop environment” can be found here.
Software development
§My primary text editor is vim, though I have used Visual Studio, Monodevelop and a little bit of Visual Studio Code and Atom.
