Equipment

Laptop - Thinkpad X200

I bought my Thinkpad in June 2020, 12 years after it was released. This was bought to switch to from my Macbook Air 2015 7,2.

  • Debian

  • Core 2 Duo P8600

  • 4GB DDR3 RAM

  • 250GB SSD

PC

My PC was intended to be sold once I got the Thinkpad, as that was to be my every-day driver. I am currently still in possesion of it however, for gaming with friends.

  • Windows 10

  • Ryzen 5 2600X

  • 16GB DDR4 RAM

  • 512GB EVO 970 NVME

  • 120GB SSD

  • 1TB HDD

  • Vega 64

Microphone - Blue Yeti

It's good, and it's cheap. I also use a microphone arm with it, and have thrown out the stand. Oop.

Peripherals

The other stuff I use with my laptop/PC

  • Thinkpad Dock

  • Razer Blackwidow Lite, Keyboard

  • Logitech MX Master, Wireless Mouse

  • BENQ Monitor. 1600x900, with a monitor stand.

Phone

I used a Huawei P8 Lite 2017. This is purely because it was cheap, and I could afford it. As long as a phone is usable, can be used as a hotspot, and has a solid battery life, that's good for me.

Software

Operating System - Debian

Currently I'm running Debian 10 Buster on my daily driver. I went with a minimal install, and try to only include what I need.

Window Manager - dwm

My current window manger is DWM, a tiling wm. It's lightweight, and once you get used to it, it feels better to use than a traditional wm

Terminal - st

I use st, with a couple of custom keybinds and a gruvbox theme. I use this along with my shell of choice, zsh.

Browser - Brave

This was a tie between ungoogled-chromium and Brave. I opted for Brave due to the BAT tokens.

Music, Video, and Images

I use cmus for music, mpv for video, and feh for images. However, these are rarely used as I've been using Youtube for most consumption.

News and Downloads

I use newsboat for my rss feeds, and youtube-dl with mpv to watch videos from my feed. I also use transmission for anime downloads.

Email - Gmail

I've not setup an alternative for Gmail yet, so I'm still using Gmail for my emails. I also make use of Google Drive, but have been looking at alternatives.

Other

For pretty much everything else I use, I recommend looking at my install script (that likely isn't finished/working) here
