Hello people!
I like to program random things when I feel like it.
I am an advocate for free software. I believe software should be fully public, free/libre, transparent, lightweight, and inclusive to all.
Alpine.
I used to daily-drive Debian on my desktop, and continue to grudgingly daily-drive Fedora on my laptop. I intend to switch to Alpine on my laptop at some point, although I probably won't :).
postmarketOS is close enough to Alpine that I'll mention it here; I daily-drive it on my phone; a PinePhone.
GNOME.
I used to daily-drive Niri on my desktop, but after discovering that it contains LLM-generated code, I switched to GNOME and I never looked back.
foot. It's incredibly lightweight.
I use Lua for pretty much everything now, but if something is really annoying to do in Lua (mainly multithreading), I'll grudgingly go to Python, even though it's slopware.
I mainly use Librewolf and qutebrowser, but I'm dabbling into Dillo and Gemini (the protocol). I'm thinking about ditching qutebrowser though.
I used to use GNU Icecat, but I slowly stopped.
For extensions on Firefox-based browsers, I use uBlock Origin, NoScript, LibRedirect, Vimium (for better keyboard navigation—hinting is a god-send), and Violentmonkey with a userscript to flag slopware on GitHub.
Classical.
Each have their merits.
