I often see many content creators and other personalities talk about the hardware and the software they use. I’m also going to put my hat into the race for anyone that cares.
Everything I use is to optimize around minimal mouse usage (other than web browser type shenanigans), also keeping things pretty straight forward and that I can do my work well.

Software
I try to keep things pretty minimal plus trying to comply with XDG Base Directory Specification, and most of my theming is inspired by TokyoNight. I’m thinking about moving to a Wayland related environment instead of an x11 one in the near future, but I’m in no rush for it.
