Introduction
Curious about the digital tools in my arsenal? You're in the right spot. My software choices reflect a meticulous selection process. I'm not one to simply go with the flow; instead, I rigorously research and trial every tool before it earns a spot in my workflow. My preference leans towards flexible, tailorable, and keyboard-centric FLOSS, with a pronounced inclination for text/CLI interfaces. A heads-up for those looking for Windows suggestions: my realm is exclusively Linux, so you might find that area a tad sparse.
