I use and recommend the Brave browser.
Emacs has a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you really come to appreciate its extensibility model and immense wealth of functionality. Magit and Org-Mode are amazing, and so is M-x grep with its ability to operate on the output in far more useful ways than command-line grep.
My window manager of choice is dwm. It’s lightweight, hackable, reliable, battle-tested, works regardless of distro or GPU, and never changes unless I want it to.
Clojure is my favorite language.
For music, I use Reaper, Pianoteq, Noire, Cinematic Studio Series, Spitfire stuff, Valhalla Room, and MuseScore. I have a Kawai ES920 and I want a CA901 or maybe an NV5S.
For video, Kdenlive suffices for simple tasks, but I do prefer DaVinci Resolve for more elaborate editing.
I enjoy the Colemak-DH layout, with the Wide mod for standard keyboards. My current favorite is my NiZ Plum Atom68: very pleasant typing experience. I also have an Epomaker Split65, which is a very good keyboard, currently featuring Holy Panda switches, which are on the heavy side, but I enjoy them in moderation. The stock Wisteria linears are okay, but I’m not a fan of linears; I want actuation feedback.
A few more keyboards I sometimes use: Leopold FC660C with 45g plate-mounted Topres; Ducky One SF with Cherry Browns; Aula F75 with Leobog Reapers; and High Plains Drifters V2 with Outemu Silent Toms.
I have a Thinkpad X200, which has the most enjoyable keyboard of any laptop I’ve ever used, plus it’s Librebooted. Ancient it may be; it still works well as a portable writing (Org-mode) machine. It runs Devuan with runit and dwm.
For pointing, I use an MX Vertical, a Slimblade, a Ploopy Adept, an Elecom Huge, and a Microsoft Trackball Explorer.
