    I recently tried out some terminals but in the end it didn’t really make all that big of a difference, maybe because I use tmux so I don’t need split functionality. For a long time I used Gnome Console because it came with my distro but then I tried Ghostty because some people said it was the best and I also thought I was missing out. However for me it was mostly the same as before and it was cool in a way but for some reason it didn’t really click. Now I am using Wezterm because other people said it’s the best and what i like is that it comes as a flatpak and it is configured using Lua. But I could just go back to Gnome Console if I had to.











  • My switching started with dual booting Ubuntu and Windows but I quickly realised that I only wanted to use Ubuntu so then I removed windows from my laptop. Then I started looking around and tried Manjaro for a while and also had a short look at Mint but it was too close to windows for me.

    Then I heard of immutable atomic distros and liked the concept so I used Vanilla OS, Fedora Silverblue and finally landed on Aeon which I currently use and am very happy with. I like that you have a stable clean base system and all the stuff you want to try out lives in containers and can easily be removed.

    Recently I installed and tuned Arch with Hyprland on a second PC and also like that a lot but am unsure if I want to move away from atomic updates on my main laptop. I just really like that there is always at least one snapshot that you can boot into which works and you will robably never be locked out of your system entirely.
