My Dev Setup: A Look into My Software and Hardware

Introduction

Welcome to my dev setup overview! As a developer, having the right tools and equipment can make all the difference in our productivity and workflow. In this article, I will be sharing the software and hardware that I use to code and how it helps me in my day-to-day work as a developer. From my operating system to my code editor and even my physical setup, I will be giving a detailed look into what works for me. I hope this article will provide some inspiration and ideas for optimizing your own dev setup.

Software:

• WSl2 / Ubuntu
  I am currently working on Windows 11, but for development i use the WSl2 feature of Windows 11 to work with a Linux Subsystem as Ubuntu.
  

• Terminal and shell (Zsh and Tmux)
  Inside of Ubuntu i work with ZSH insted of Bash, so i can use Themes as the one you see right now. Also im working with a tool called Tmux, which is for multiplexing terminals.
  

• Code editor (VScode)
  If you open up VScode inside of a WSl it will open up VScode on Windows, but running on Ubuntu.
  

• Git tools (zsh git plugin, gh cli)
  Inside of ZSH i use a git plugin

• Management
  For Time and Task management i use mainly two Apps.
  The first one is Microsft To Do, where i keep track of all my tasks in life, form school, to private stuff, to finances and coding.
  

The second one is Forest, which is an IOS App (For PC you can use the Browser extension). With this one i keep track of my time in learning or coding sessions.

• GamingMy Laptop is not the strongest on the market, so gaming on it is not really possible.For that i have a nice solution: Nvidia GeForce Now.That works with a normal speed internet quite well.

Hardware:

• LaptopI have a Lenovo Yoga 530 14' Laptop which works after 5 years still perfect.
• HP 27f
• My mouse
• My keyboard
• My Desk mat
• My Desk stance-My Headphones
