I settled on herbstluft in I think around 2015 and 10 years later have still never felt the need to migrate anywhere else.

I did about a year ago give up lightDM for emptty, but that doesn’t really count.

It do be like that, at least for the first couple years, and typically with decreasing frequency.

mpd for me

I’m screaming internally and externally.

I use emptty and herbsluft.

VS Code has dev containers, which can be nice.

But honestly, this is all overboard. Not sure what language you’re working in, but this is what virtual environments are for. For instance in Python, you can use a tool called Poetry.

I avoided containers for a long time, too. But they truly are game changing.

Me during every live coding interview.

Nice.

I like a combo of FLAC + mpd/ncmpcpp, and running everything through Picard for tagging.

When I’m on the go (car or foot) I use a Hiby R4 DAP with VLC, and the collection translates flawlessly.

Also, scrobble all the things to libre.fm

That’s fair. Though “simple” for me is actually having meticulously sorted and tagged media. That way it displays reliably and beautifully in most any player.

most of my music files don’t even have any metadata

How can you live that way?

I didn’t make autorandr.

I like it, having migrated from previously using lemonbar.

Docs say “sort-of kind-of” it seems.

I’ve personally been using polybar for the last 2 years. A combination of the default modules, and then some custom scripts I’ve written.

I think that’s out of style. I think most people are using their bar to display the basics, and then just view detailed system info in terminal.

People still use Conky?

Such a little detail, but makes me so happy.

I’m unfamiliar with KISS. I don’t really distro hop, since what I use has satisfied all my needs to date.
