I'm a:

  • Gamer
  • Full stack web dev
  • Android/iOS/MacOS/Windows Dev

So I have a lot of machines


Machine 1

  • Purpose: MacOS/iOS app builder/publisher
  • Usage: 100% work
  • Location: Work
  • OS: Modified MacOS Sequoia
    • Sequoia to avoid the glass interface disaster that Apple released
    • Uses custom window manager built in hammerspoon because fuck macos's window management
    • Modified firmware so Caps + IJKJ = Arrows
  • Shell: ZSH
  • IDE: VSCode

Machine 2

  • Purpose: Personal computer
  • Usage: 90% games / 10% work
  • Location: Home
  • OS: Modified Windows 11
    • All the ads and AI bloat is removed but it requires increasing maintenance to maintain
  • Shell: ZSH through WSL Ubuntu
  • IDE: VSCode

Machine 3:

  • Purpose: do everything on the go
  • Usage: 50% games / 50% work
  • Location: Wherever
  • OS: Modified Windows 11
    • All the ads and AI bloat is removed but it requires increasing maintenance to maintain
  • Shell: ZSH through WSL Ubuntu
  • IDE: VSCode

Machine 4:

  • Purpose: Disposable environments to test new things
  • Usage: 100% work
  • Location: Work
  • OS: Kubuntu 25.10 (Current plasma version is great so far)
  • Shell: ZSH
  • IDE: VSCode

Also:

  • Android Tablets
  • Android Phones
  • iPads
  • iPhones

Future:

  • Helix
    • I want to learn Helix's keyboard workflow
    • Helix's lack of extensions has held me back.
      • Helix has been working on extensions for a while though and I'll re-evaluate it once it does and the community builds the needed extensions
    • Zed has some helix commands, so I may switch to that from vscode to get helix commands + extensions.
  • OSs
    • I want to reduce my windows 11 maintenance
    • Held back by anti-cheat games (PUBG, then Helldivers 2, and will try Arc Raiders these holidays, potentially Marathon next year)
    • I'll experiment with KDE / Cosmic / Niri in 2026.
    • If no anti-cheat games have captured my attention in 2027, I'll switch another one of my personal machines to Linux

Helldivers 2, and will try Arc Raider

Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders both work fine on Linux. PUBG does not.

potentially Marathon next year

Marathon is unlikely to work since Destiny also doesn't work.

FWIW I tried the Helix mode in Zed, and it was missing lots of Helix bindings that I rely on.
