+1 for chezmoi

It makes syncing my dotfiles between my different systems fairly painless. It just works.

Laat maar komen! Ik ben hier echt benieuwd naar. In landen als Singapore is het al goedgekeurd en beschikbaar, dus waarom hier nog niet?

It's so difficult to compete with free though. The monthly fee for kagi is a bit steep, which is not for everyone (>5 €/month), even if that is the 'true' price of searching the web. It does have some very interesting features though. A colleague of mine is always praising it, saying that the search results are better than anything else he has tried.

I started using qwant last year for the same reason and I haven't looked back. Search results are excellent. I sometimes switch to Startpage as a proxy for google.

Gnome on my desktop and laptop. I use xfce when working in a vm, because it's a bit lighter (I usually just need a terminal + text editor). I prefer gnome for regular use.
