Most of my screen time is spent in a terminal emulator, Emacs, and Firefox. Have gone to XFCE over Ubuntu but might move to Arch Linux on my next machine. Ubuntu 11.10, but I loathe Unity and Gnome 3 (glossy, confining crap that keeps taking more and more control away from me) and am thinking about bailing out. The desktop ensemble is rounded out with Logitech speakers and a hefty subwoofer, as I like intricate music playing while I hack (Liquid Tension Experiment playing now). Sadly, I expect to have to live with 16x9 in the future. Two-button mice and trackballs - lose! Displays with 16x9 aspect ratio - they're stretched in the wrong direction, vertically cramping my editor window and ergonomically poor for web browsing. My smartphone is a T-Mobile G-2 running Android 2.3.4.Īllow me to note a couple of hardware pet hates. My road machine is a Lenovo Thinkpad X60 I'm a huge fan of the Thinkpad line. I like lots of vertical pixels for my Emacs window, so I'm rocking a Samsung SyncMaster 1100DF at 1800x1440 with 120dpi. I prefer trackballs over mice and use a Logitech TrackMan. I like Model-M-style clicky keyboards (I'm typing on a Unicomp Model M). The interesting details about my desktop setup are the peripherals. What hardware do you use?Ī pretty generic Intel Core Duo 2 PC. You rely on my software every time you use a browser, a smartphone, or a gaming console. I wrote some of the foundational papers on open-source development and maintain over 40 open-source projects and FAQs.
