# RinRi - Recommendations

# Personal Recommendations:

## Software:

### OS

Arch Linux or Artix Linux. Artix is easier than Arch, because they offer pre-installed graphical environment and graphical installation. Of course, they have arch-like base live iso as well. Also, Artix is systemd-free(runit, openrc and s6 are actually much faster and simpler than systemd).

### Window Manager

I highly recommend suckless's dwm, because it is extremely lightweight, fast and highly customizable. The are several drawbacks such as lack of documentation (code is your documentation) and patching (you usually have to install patches manually).

### Terminal

st(simple terminal) - suckless terminal, support UTF-8 characters, emojis(you need to install libxft-bgra). I use Luke Smith's build of st.

### Text Editor

Neovim and vim can improve your productivity and they are actually working in your terminal, so you can use them via ssh. If you like "normie-friend" text editor, I highly recommend VSCodium.

### Web Browser

Firefox is fast and open-source browser, without google's unnecessary tracking. You can extend it with some extensions:

- uBlock Origin - ad and tracking blocking addon;
- With Multi Account Containers, you can use multi accounts and keep different tracking sites like facebook separate from others.
- HTTPS Everywhere is a cool addon, which automatically use HTTPS instead of insecure HTTP protocol.
- Bitwarden is private, decentralized, open-source password manager.
- OneTab can store all your tab in one place and save your RAM, if you have a lot of them.
- Dark Reader is extremely useful addon. It can turn on dark mode in almost every website.

### Media Player

mpv is lightweight, open-source, fast and reliable media player. You can play YouTube and other hostings' videos in mpv, simply by installing youtube-dl.

### Music Player

cmus - lightweight music player with vi-like bindings.
