<h1>IDE of Choice</h1>
<p>
After years of hopping between IDEs, I've finally settled into VSCode—and honestly, it feels like coming
home.<br><br>
I started out with Eclipse back in school, writing Java and wondering if programming would ever feel
smooth. Then came IntelliJ, and suddenly, everything clicked: smart code completion, refactoring,
version control, even writing my master thesis in LaTeX—all in one place. JetBrains' lineup was
impressive, but switching between IntelliJ for Java, PyCharm for Python, WebStorm for web, RustRover for
Rust, CLion for C, and DataGrip for databases got exhausting.<br><br>
I always wanted an IDE that felt as flexible as Emacs, but with modern features and polish. IntelliJ
came close, but the constant context switching wore me down. I tried NetBeans (too clunky), BlueJ (fun,
but just for learning), and Atom (great as a text editor, but not a full IDE).<br><br>
Now, in 2025, VSCode has become my daily driver. It's come a long way since I last used it. With Rust
and Python as my main languages, I realized RustRover and VSCode both rely on Cargo and rust-analyzer—so
why not use the lighter, more customizable option? The extension ecosystem is massive, and with LLM
integration, VSCode actually outpaces IntelliJ in AI-assisted coding.<br><br>
I still feel a bit wary of VSCode's corporate vibe, but with the right extensions and tweaks, it (kind of) feels
like my own tool. It's fast, flexible, and supports everything I need without forcing me to switch apps
for every language. For a Gen Z developer who grew up on Eclipse and dreamed of something better, VSCode
finally delivers the all-in-one experience I always wanted.
<br><br>
Update:
Just a bit after posting this, I tried out Zed.
VSCode, but fast, responive, not corpo and written in Rust.
Not everything is supported as of now (October '25), such as the entirety ofmy Latex workflow, but a lot of relevant things already work, so i made the switch.

<h1>OS Setup</h1>
<p>
My journey with operating systems started in the glow of a CRT monitor, running Windows XP on a chunky
desktop that took up half my childhood desk. Back then, the OS was just a background character—something
you tolerated so you could play games or tinker with Paint.<br><br>
As hardware evolved, so did my setup: Windows 7, then 10, each on increasingly sleeker desktops
and eventually my first laptop. Windows was familiar, reliable, and—at least for a while—felt like the
only real option. But as I got deeper into programming, I started to feel the limits. I wanted more
control, more transparency, and less bloat.<br><br>
High school was my first real foray into Linux. I fumbled my way through Ubuntu installs, breaking
things, fixing them, and learning more in the process than any textbook could teach. The world of
distros opened up: I tried Kubuntu, Mint, Fedora, and then the pentesting distro <a
href="https://linux.backbox.org">Backbox</a> for a year.
Each one taught me something new about how computers work under the hood.<br><br>
For a few years, Pop!_OS became my daily driver. It was Ubuntu-based, but with a polish and hardware
support that just worked—especially on my 13" HP Laptop screen. I loved the COSMIC desktop environment
for its workflow and usable design, and especially for its auto-tiling feature, which I still haven't
found as polished anywhere else—it's unmatched for my mouse-driven workflow. But eventually, the itch
for something even more customizable led
me to Arch Linux. I only switched to Arch this year: bleeding edge, rolling release, and a wiki thats
both a lifeline and a rite of passage. I now run Arch (btw), still with COSMIC as my DE, but with every
package and config under my control.<br><br>
Now, this very webserver is running NixOS as an experiment. NixOS is a whole new paradigm: the OS, its
configuration, and the data are all strictly separated. I define my system in a single config file, and
can reproduce it anywhere, anytime. Its made me rethink how I manage not just my servers, but my
personal machines too. Keeping the OS, its config, and my data separate means I can upgrade, migrate, or
even break things without fear—everything is reproducible, and nothing is lost.<br><br>
Looking back, every step—from Windows on a CRT to declarative NixOS—has taught me something about
control, flexibility, and the value of understanding whats happening beneath the surface. The journey
isnt over, but for now, Im happy to be running a system thats truly my own.
