Setup

I use three devices: big chonky desktop, MacBook Air M2 and iPad (9th gen). For Programming I use my MacBook or the desktop, with Emacs as my text editor. I take notes on my iPad, then convert some information from them into these nice posts in the Digital Garden (See More in Workflow).

Desktop

I am running Arch Linux as my operating system. I like it because it’s lightweight, and has newest package versions (most of the time). My window manager of choice is XMonad, I also have KDE Plasma Desktop Environment that I sometimes use. The desktop is connected to two displays, one placed horizontally and one vertically.

MacBook Air M2

I am doing most of my web browsing and web related projects and Markdown note writing on my MacBook, mainly because it’s more convenient, If I am going to write a quick note on binary search or change a single div I don’t want to boot up the desktop. Apart from that doing these tasks while I am in my bed is so much more comfortable.

iPad

I am doing most of my handwritten note taking on my iPad, and I do a lot of that. My school notes are written on my iPad and then, if deemed worthy, converted into Markdown notes and published here. I am also doing all of my homework on it, since most of it needs to be handwritten.

Emacs

My preferred text editor is Emacs, mainly because I can tailor it just to my needs. My config is here
