[STARCROSS] MSI Modern 14 C7M (Kubuntu 24.10 / Plasma 6) >> My EDC! Kind of. That is, if i would go outside more and I actually needed it at the time. Dots are here!
[AYRE] Custom-built PC (W10) >> The first PC I've ever built from the ground-up, whereas my previous PCs were prebuilt and had their parts out swapped as needed. Specs include:
Peripherals for this build:
Other things I use:
[HEMERA] Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Using Niagara Launcher. Still runs like a champ to this day ;v; She's been with me through thick and thin (and for drawing in my class lectures when I probably shouldn't have been)!
[ASTERIA] Samsung ZFlip 5 I really missed having a flip phone and this was the perfect compromise. I'm having lots of fun with it! That said, I'm really wanting to just get an actual flip phone - maybe even a keitai, as my work won't fully allow me to have a dumbphone - if/when this one breaks.
each will be specified if used in either Kubuntu (K) or Windows 10 (W10).
VSCodium [K/W10] Picked this one instead of VSCodium since I like having telemetry disabled. The only extension I use is Live Server. My main programming languages are HTML and CSS.
Obsidian [K/W10] After taking notes in Notion in college, I got sick of the way everything worked and wanted something both simple and offline. I finally settled with Obsidian after jumping through a few different notetaking apps and I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else! Extensions I use include:
And the theme I use is Minimal.
Clip Studio Paint [W10] Originally I was using Medibang Paint Pro, but a friend kindly gifted me a copy of CSP (before they changed how it was monetized lol). I'm on Version 2.0 and will probably stick with that. The brushes I have are all from the CSP Assets Store, but this is what I mainly use to color with.
Firefox [K/W10] My main browser. The only extensions I usually stick with are uBlock, Stylus, Dark Reader, Unhook, and Return Youtube Dislike.
Flow Launcher [W10] I don't think I can live without this one.
PowerToys [W10] Also can't live without this one, mainly for Color Picker and FancyZones.
Windows Terminal [W10] For working with CMD or Powershell.
Spotify [K/W10] This is unusable for me if I also don't have Spicetify on top of it.
Discord [K/W10] For communicating with my friends. I use Vencord and you should too!
Kubuntu-specific:
