# setup
---
the following is my current working setup.

## os
I have been running linux since 2015

### current distros
- [fedora](https://fedoraproject.org): installed on my laptop and mini-pc.
- [nixos](https://nixos.org): used for running my home server due to the declarative configuration.

### past distros
- [archlinux](https://archlinux.org)

there are many more distros that I have tried for a brief period, but in most cases the only notable difference is the package manager.

[here](https://git.sr.ht/~aethrvmn/nixconfig) you can find my current nixos files and [here](https://git.sr.ht/~aethrvmn/dotfiles) you can find my current dotfiles.

## version control
I have been using [github](https://github.com/aethrvmn) since 2017, but I am currently moving/have moved to [sourcehut](https://sr.ht/~aethrvmn) for data privacy, as well as self-hosting my own [forgejo](https://forgejo.org) instance.

I do not consent to github's eula or privacy policy.

## ci/cd
I use [cron](https://crontab.guru) to set up automation.

## web
for this website, as well as any other website I manage, I use [HUGO](https://gohugo.io) to serve static websites, running on top of [nginx](https://nginx.org) inside of a vps. 

## workflow
my editor of choice is [helix](https://helix-editor.com), which essentially is vim with better defaults. In all of my distros, I use [zsh](https://zsh.org) as my shell.
