What I use

  • Arch Linux as my OS on all my machines
  • an AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600X as my main rig with 32 gigs of memory and an RX 560
  • Thinkcentre M720q tiny as my home lab server with an Intel Core i5 8400T, 16 gigs of memory and tons of storage, running 24/7 with less than 10W power consumption
  • Thinkpad X280 for everything on the go, 8th gen Intel is still the best bang for the buck and it is even more lightweight than an M1 Macbook Air
  • syncthing to continuously synchronize files between all my machines
  • GNOME as my desktop environment of choice
  • GNU/Emacs with Dired and Org mode to organize my life in plain text
  • rsync for backups, nothing fancy but it does the job
  • pass, the standard unix password manager
