My Computer Setup

My computer setup has continuously evolved since switching to Linux in 2021. Distro-hopping from Ubuntu to Fedora to Arch, back to Ubuntu, and now to NixOS? Hopefully, this setup will last me a while, but I'm willing to try new things if they seem like useful stuff.

I also own a ThinkPad T480 for experimentation, as well as a Jetson Orin Nano that runs a small home server.

My Nix configuration files can be found here. For note-taking, I use Obsidian. Its simplicity of using Markdown and its ability to cross-link notes appeal to me. Notes are synced between my devices using Syncthing. For larger-scale projects or journeys, I try to log them in this website (which is also written in Markdown, using Pelican).
