Here's the software I use. I've recently started to reduce my use of TUIs in favor of CLIs, for a variety of reasons. When possible, I try to use lightweight programs that can run on any machine, from a single-board computer to a giant desktop. I don't ever want to feel like I need to upgrade my hardware to do the same tasks as before: hardware upgrades should only be justified by my use-cases significantly changing, existing hardware being broken beyond repair, or upstream abandonment of security patches.

|
## Environment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* OS: Fedora 36
|
||
|
|
* Wayland compositor: Sway
|
||
|
|
* Shell: zsh
|
||
|
|
* Terminal Emulator: Foot. Sometimes gnome-terminal when I'm using a screen reader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Basic utilities:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `$EDITOR`: Neovim
|
||
|
|
* Browser: Firefox for most pages, Chromium for apps, NetSurf when I'm low on battery.
|
||
|
|
* Coreutils alternatives: ripgrep, sd (better multiline regexes than sed)
|
||
|
|
* Music player: mpd, along with my mpd scripts
|
||
|
|
* Video player: three builds of mpv, two with a PGO run on different types of video (anime and live-action-with-filmgrain). Often paired with yt-dlp and mpv_sponsorblock
|
||
|
|
* Image viewer: mpv (one less program to keep track of), swayimg. Both support AVIF and JPEG-XL now.
|
||
|
|
* Session manager: tmux (I don't use it for tiling, Sway handles that)
|
||
|
|
* IRC client: WeeChat. Might use senpai eventually, if I can get it to play well with espeak-ng.
|
||
|
|
* News: Newsboat. I'm thinking of switching to an feed-to-IMAP or Maildir setup eventually so I can get sync and use mblaze, and replace a TUI with a CLI. Ideally something that supports WebSub.
|
||
|
|
* Screen reader: Orca

## Mail:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mail fetcher: mbsync
|
||
|
|
* SMTP client: msmtp
|
||
|
|
* routine tasks, viewing/filtering latest messages: mblaze
|
||
|
|
* MUA: mostly neomutt
|
||
|
|
* Viewing HTML mail: w3m-sandbox or edbrowse.

## What I don't use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are tools that I don't use, or avoid using.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* system monitoring TUIs: I just run the command to view the resource I need to know about
|
||
|
|
* File managers: I prefer using the shell with fzf-based tab-completion that also features preview windows
