This thread is pure gold for looking into cli software :D
Do you people use cli most of the time our of principle or is it a habit? I found myself using a lot of vim and terminal-based tools for personal stuff, but uni and other places still require word documents and stuff :(
Thanks for the list! I use some of these, although for knowledgebase and notes I find obsidian quite good. Not cli, but it runs smoothly and available on windows. And alacritty as a terminal is surprisingly good, tbh.
As for package manager - stock apt from my ubuntu-based pop-os is just good enough :p

My laptop is on pop os with xmonad wm on top, works great. Although the pc is still on windows :(

I just wanted to try something very configurable and minimal. Yeah, it is very good out of the box, I agree.

That editing though: shitload -> load :D
On a serious note, I tend to use fullscreen stuff for the sake of focus. Sometimes it's splitscreen on windows, 50/50 between brave browser and whatever else, most of the time qt creator or matlab.
And in linux... Well, I tend to have 3-4 terminal apps in different workspaces, there is no real pattern there. Whatever works at the moment, that's the advantage of twm.
Obsidian looks very interesting! Thanks!
I just today checked out Pop!_OS. It looks amazing. Also it looks like they have incorporated quite a few things from tiling window managers that I am striving for when I use Xmonad (which is what I've used).
Otherwise I have previously always been using Ubuntu based stuff, based on that I know apt, and I figured it would be simpler to get things exactly how I want them if I know how to install them. I have traditionally been going for Ubuntu minimal server (which used to be 12mb, basically apt and nothing else) and then install things as and when I need them.
I am right now doing my first foray in to Manjaro (and thereby Arch eco-system). Arch has always scared me previously, but I have to say, right now I'm loving it, and the flexibility I get. In the "appstore" I've enabled all the options, which means I get access to all the AUR stuff, Snap stuff etc, but I love that it gives me the option to "build" already from within the store. Some things though are so easily installed via Homebrew (I'm typing this on a Mac) that I install it whenever I have the option to do so, and a lot of the software mentioned come with Homebrew install options, which handle permissions automatically in a way that I like.
Anyways, shall be checking out Obsidian now, and see if I can sync whatever it spits out via Git etc and we might be on to a winner for GUI based knowledge base apps (where I today am using a Mac-only app).
