🚀 Daily Usage — My Flow 💻🌙☕

Welcome to the cheat sheet of how I actually use my machine on a daily basis — optimized for speed, clarity, and focus. 🧠⚡

🖥️ Desktop Environment (Wayland + Qtile) 🎛️🌐

I use Qtile Wayland as my main compositor + WM — custom-built with my own config. I’ve decorated it with the 🔷 Nord theme, powerline widgets, and intuitive keybindings.

📂 Workspace Usage

  • 1 — Code 👨‍💻 (Neovim, Git)
  • 2 — Web 🌍 (Firefox)
  • 3 — Terminals 🖥️ (htop, scripts, etc.)
  • 4 — Docs 📚 (PDFs, notes, Zathura)
  • 5+ — Scratch or task-specific

🧠 Workflow Habits

  • Always boot into a clean state thanks to nixos-rebuild magic ✨
  • I rarely reboot — my uptime is often 🗓️ multiple days
  • I don’t close terminals — I live in them 🧘‍♂️
  • No distractions — no YouTube, no games, just Vim & chill 🍃

🔧 Coding Flow

🥷 Editor: Neovim

  • nvim with Lua config + custom plugin loadout 🔌
  • LSPs + Treesitter = buttery smooth coding 🍰
  • telescope to fuzzy-find everything 🧭
  • alpha-nvim for startup dashboard 💫

📁 Project Management

  • Git all the way 🧬
  • lazygit for commits and merges ⚔️
  • Nix flake-based repos for everything — no pip, no npm, no clutter ❄️

🖱️ Terminal Usage

  • Foot as my terminal — minimal, fast, and themed 💨🎨
  • Scripts in $HOME/.config/scripts/ do most of the grunt work 🤖
  • Aliases displayed via showalias command for clarity 📜

🧘‍♂️ Philosophy

“I don’t chase minimalism. I maintain it.”

Everything I run is fast, lean, and distraction-free. Nix handles the environment. I handle the flow. ⚙️💡
