This is a woefully underpowered laptop I got for free! I’m working to make it into a secure portable machine (since it does support secureboot & TPM-backed disk encryption) to take on the go that I don’t fear losing. This is mostly for doing programming & study, on stuff that doesn’t require high-performances, so the 2 gigs of RAM are just about enough for regular use – and it prevents me from being distracted, as I can’t load most website on that poor thing…

I’m using 2 bars – I originally only wanted to use a vertical one, unfortunately not all waybar modules support rotation, so I settled for this, which works quite well in my experience :3

Stuff I use:

  • Catppuccin Frappe as a color scheme on most things
  • Emacs for programming & taking notes (org-mode my beloved)
  • Alacritty as a terminal, with the fish shell
  • Firefox (fuck chromium)
  • stmps as a music player, connected to my selfhosted Nextcloud instance, with a bunch of songs obtained through legal means (obviously)
  • Waybar for a bar, with nm-applet for controlling networkmanager and blueman-applet for controlling bluetooth
  • fcitx5 + mozc for japanese input
  • dwl with the following patches
    • ipc
    • toplevel management
    • touchscreen
    • autostart

I will probably release all my configs in an organized way once I feel like this setup is closer to completion.
