 ## PC software
 
+All of the software on this page is cool and I think you should try it. I also
+use all of this software, and will update this page when I find new, *even
+cooler* software to use instead. Most if not all of my configuration files
+(dotfiles) are on my [github](https://github.com/lonkaars/dotfiles). You can
+clone these and edit them to fit your needs, or you can use them as a reference
+for when you can't figure out how to configure something.
+
+### Regular software
+
+- **Email client**: [neomutt](https://neomutt.org/). It's fast and simple,
+  though configuring it was a pain in the ass. I'm currently using it in
+  combination with mbsync and imapnotify to get notifications for new emails,
+  and sync my mailbox for fast email viewing.
+
+- **Music player**: [mpd](https://www.musicpd.org/) with
+  [ncmpcpp](https://github.com/ncmpcpp/ncmpcpp). This is the best music setup
+  I've ever used. I download all my music in .flac format and mpd *just works*.
+  Since mpd has a server-client structure, I could also use this to set up
+  multiple devices that can add music to a central queue at a party or
+  something, but I just use it to launch [an fzf mpc
+  wrapper](https://github.com/DanielFGray/fzf-scripts/blob/master/fzmp) to
+  quickly add music while I'm doing something else.
+
+- **Text editor**: [nvim](https://neovim.io/). It's vim. If you don't like vim,
+  you should try using it longer. If you still don't like vim, you can use
+  [code oss](https://appimage.github.io/Code_OSS/) which is visual studio code
+  but without Microsoft's creepy telemetry features.
+
+- **PDF viewer**: [zathura](https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/). It's a pdf
+  viewer with vim bindings, and it works with my TeX editing setup's live
+  reload thingy.
+
+- **Image viewer**: [sxiv](https://github.com/muennich/sxiv). It's like zathura
+  but for images, but it also does a bunch of other stuff that I don't use very
+  often.
+
+- **Browser**: [brave](https://brave.com/). It's a normie-friendly chromium
+  fork with extra privacy features! I of course use brave (or any
+  chromium-based browser) with [tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/),
+  [ublock origin](https://ublockorigin.com/),
+  [stylus](https://github.com/openstyles/stylus) and [dark
+  reader](https://darkreader.org/).
+
+- **Terminal**: [st](https://st.suckless.org/). It's fast and simple, nothing
+  to complain about. I have my [own st fork](https://github.com/lonkaars/st),
+  with a bunch of patches that make me happy.
+
+- **Password manager**: [bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com/). Open source
+  password manager that you can host yourself. It also has public servers which
+  are mostly free, but some features like time-based one-time passwords are
+  paid. All the clients are also open source.
+
+- **Document typesetting**: [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) (using
+  [latexmk](https://personal.psu.edu/~jcc8/software/latexmk/) with the
+  [XeTeX](http://xetex.sourceforge.net/) compiler).
+
+- **File browser**: [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger). It's kind of
+  slow, but I use the bulkrename feature very often, and I haven't gotten used
+  to the perl `rename` script yet.
+
+- [unar](https://github.com/MacPaw/XADMaster). I like running `unar [archive]`
+  instead of using `7z`, `tar`, `unzip`, etc. It creates a new folder to unpack
+  to automatically so it does exactly what I need.
+
+### OS stuff
+
+- **Window manager**: [i3-gaps](https://github.com/Airblader/i3). I tried it
+  once and didn't switch back so this is a winner I guess. I've also heard good
+  things about [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/), though I haven't used it
+  myself. Most people complain about i3's limited configurability, but I
+  haven't ran into something that it doesn't do for me.
+
+- **Application launcher**: [rofi](https://github.com/davatorium/rofi). I've
+  been using rofi since I started using linux, and haven't switched to anything
+  else because it's *very* configurable, and has a dmenu mode for using it
+  instead of dmenu with other scripts. I use it primarily as my application
+  launcher, but I also have a hotkey setup to launch `bwmenu` which is a script
+  that fills in bitwarden passwords using rofi.
+
+- **Shell**: [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/) with [oh-my-zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/).
+  It's zsh, all the cool kids use it already. I do have `/usr/bin/sh` `ln -s`'d
+  to `/usr/bin/bash`, but I'd like to change that to `/usr/bin/dash`. Eh, I'll
+  get around to it someday.
+
+- **Status Bar**: [polybar](https://github.com/polybar/polybar). Simple bar,
+  gets the job done, the configuration files make me go insane though. It took
+  me a good half year of ricing to understand the polybar configuration files,
+  and I'm still not sure if I do.
+
+- **Notification daemon**: [dunst](https://dunst-project.org/). I used to use
+  deadd-notification-center, but that has waaaay too many haskell dependencies
+  on arch, so I don't use that anymore.
+
+- **Global keybinds**:
+  [xbindkeys](https://www.nongnu.org/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html). Simple
+  configuration, works flawlessly, 10/10.
+
+- **Compositor**: [picom](https://github.com/yshui/picom). It's a simple
+  compositor. I use it to enable vsync for desktop windows, and I have it set
+  up to only show a drop shadow on floating i3 windows.
+
+### Closed source
+
+- [discord](https://discord.com/). Gamer. The only reason this is listed here
+  is because I use discord with
+  [betterdiscord](https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp) (which *is*
+  open-source). Betterdiscord allows you to use custom css themes, custom
+  plugins and a whole bunch of other cool stuff that regular discord doesn't
+  do. It's technically against TOS, but I don't really care as I only use
+  quality of life improvement plugins.
+
+- [figma](https://figma.com). It's the designing software that I use to create
+  user interface or website mockups. It's easily accessible though a browser,
+  and it uses webassembly so it's also decently fast. It's free for personal
+  use.
