## 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.
