Manawasp's Dotfiles

Overview

System

• debian: linux distribution composed of free and open-source software.
• LightDM: cross-desktop display manager.
• i3: dynamic tiling window manager.
• py3status: extensible i3status wrapper written in Python.

User

• alacritty: modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration.
• zsh: shell designed for interactive use, although it is also a powerful scripting language.
• starship: minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt.
• nvim: hyperextensible Vim-based text editor.
• eza: a modern replacement for ls.
• zoxide: a smarter cd command, inspired by z and autojump.
• vscode: code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications.
• spotify: audio streaming and media services provider.
• bat: cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration.

Programming

• docker: OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.
• go: statically typed, compiled programming language.
• nvm: version manager for node.js, designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell.
• python: high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language.
• rust: multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language that emphasizes performance, type safety, and concurrency.
