Problem

My dyslexia and ADHD makes it easy to get distracted, Things like resizing windows, finding program icons, and opening project folders are really distracting. As well I tend to want to try out and build random repos which results in bad dependencies getting installed on my machine, (im looking at you openssl 1.0)

Outcomes

I found the following tools that helped:

• NixOs: constant config across machines and no bad dependencies
• i3wm: tile window manager makes me not worry about window placement, using league of legends like keybindings reuses my muscle memeory.
• fzf and bash: a bash script that looks for default.nix files inside a projects folder and spawns my editor setup (kitty + neovim)

Conclusion

Nix is a hard os to follow, but if you sit down and learn it you will get a awesome workflow, my current workflow is perfect for me, and I look forward to ironing out the kinks as I progress
