<h1>Operating system</h1>
<p>I mostly use <a href="https://guix.gnu.org/" />guix</a> but sometimes I need software that is not yet ported, and then I use <a href="https://getfedora.org/" />fedora</a>. If I could, I would use <a href="http://9front.org/" />9front</a> alot more, since the system is much better and different in my opinion. I also like <a href="https://openbsd.org/" />OpenBSD</a> alot.</p>
<h1>Text editor</h1>
<p>Acme from plan9port. Sometimes I use emacs if I have to edit scheme code, since automatic closing of matching <code>(</code> and <code>)</code> makes life much easier.</p>
<h1>Shell</h1>
<p>I use the <a href="https://plan9.io/sys/doc/rc.html" />rc shell</a> since it works nicely in both acme and 9term from plan9port. Also I like its syntax alot more than the syntax of bash.</p>
<h1>Web browser</h1>
<p>Mainy firefox (this page is only tested on firefox, so please let me know if you have problems on other browsers).</p>
<h1>Laptop</h1>
<p>I use a Lenovo Thinkpad E495 with an AMD ryzen 3700U and 16 gigabytes of ram. It is a fairly good computer for the price, and OpenBSD is supported out of the box with the exception of wifi. For this reason, I have small usb wifi dongle that is constantly plugged in, which performs a lot worse than what some people would like, but for me it is no big deal.</p>
<h1>Mouse and keyboard</h1>
<p>Since I have never been a fan of touchpads on laptops, I use an external mouse which is a Logitech MX Master 3. I also have a keyboard that I sometimes plug in if I have to do more writing than what I can comfortably do on my laptop. The keyboard is from the coolermaster masterkeys lite L bundle. Clicking in acme using the scroll wheel instead of using a true 3-button mouse is sometimes a bit annoying, but its OK.</p>
