From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use dwm. I use Vimium on firefox. I use cmus. I use vifm. I use mpv and feh. And of course, I use both Emacs and Neovim. Newsboat for rss. The only thing, email client: currently Claws. I'm not too comfortable with terminal or emacs email clients. But that might change soon. I also have a bunch of scripts I use for keyboard-driven usage of my system. It's not enough with those 5 types of software you mentioned. You need to optimize everything for the keyboard. Something I really miss from every distro, because not a single one does this, afaik.
Honestly I think it's all about balance.
Some interactions are much easier with a mouse. Other thrives with keyboards.
I wish there was an easy way to have mail within emacs. Everytime I'm drawn to it I'm lost in all the alternatives and each configuration seem quite complexe to implement
I haven't used emacs for mail but I was a huge
muttuser back in the day before I surrendered to using Outlook at work (employer blocks IMAP on our Exchange Online instance and I didn't want to go through the hassle of getting it permitted for my personal mailbox). I'd check that out, the config is pretty easy and you can search github/gitlab for other people's configs to get you started.I had multiple mailboxes mapped to the function keys, F2 for primary mail, F3 for work, etc., it worked beautifully.
Ha yes. I've used mutt sporadically before. Nice soft.
I've just remembered that my employer will go exchange only before summer :/ it was nice while it lasted.
