What I Use:

• • Operating System:

  • Nobara OS

  • Gamer Centred OS based on Fedora Workstation

  • Why I Use This:

    Since 2019, I have fallen in love with the Linux ecosystem and its emphasis on FREE and OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE (FOSS).

• • Terminal Emulator:

  • Alacritty

  • A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator

  • Why I Use This:

    It's light-weight and blazingly fast, offers great customization options. Only drawback is that it does not have support for tabs but Tmux covers that.

• • Web Development:

  • WebStorm

  • The tried and TRUE JavaScript and TypeScript IDE

  • Why I Use This:

    It does everything that I would require from VS Code but better and faster too (once everything is synced). I highly recommend Jetbrains products provided you use the right one for your language.

• • Android/Flutter Dev:

  • Android Studio

  • The official Integrated Development Environment for Android app development

  • Why I Use This:

    I think this self explanatory. However, for months now, Android Studio has just been something I use because it provides the necessary tools (SDKs and the like) to develop android apps, I do most of my Flutter and RN development in LunarVim rather than Android Studio.

• • iOS Development:

  • Xcode

  • The official and only IDE for developing iOS, iPadOS, and macOS apps

  • Why I Use This:

    I don't have a choice. I dread this IDE! If there were alternatives, trust me, I would use those.

• • Internet Browser:

  • Vivaldi

  • Powerful. Personal. Private.

  • Why I Use This:

    Vivaldi Browser is chromium based and is for power users who spend most of their time on the web/browser. As someone who always has about 20+ tabs open, I fell in love with Vivaldi's great tab management tools that I could not find in other browsers. Sorry, Firefox.
