Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.
Hardware
This is my custom-built desktop. It features NXT N7 motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU, 64GB of RAM, 1TB NMVe SSD, Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon 6950 graphics card, water cooling, tempered glass case, and runs latest Ubuntu.
It's really a beast of a machine.
Fantastic mouse! It's really easy on the wrist, functional, has a relatively robust Linux support, and it has RGBs!
Awesome keyboard. I've been using it for over a year now, and it's been fantastic. Check out my review!
It works. It has a good camera. I like it a lot but would very much prefer something more flexible. Alas, my entire family is in the iCloud world, so I have to endure that as well.
My favorite gadget. Truly, such a great reader. Really dig the ability to borrow books from libraries right from the device. I love reading books on my Kobo. While you are here, check out my library!
One of my favorite laptops I’ve ever owned. I’ve had it for a few years now running Linux and it’s been a dream. As for the specs, it's Intel's 9th gen i7, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD running pop_os! from System76. Just replaced the battery, and it's as good as new again!
