Occasionally I'm asked what tools I use regularly so I've put together this "uses" document to list them out in detail.

My primary workhorse is my laptop, a Lenovo X1 Carbon (Gen 9). I take it with me everywhere and connect it to my dock for a desk setup when I'm at home.

I use Arch Linux as my daily driver with the GNOME desktop environment.

• ddterm - Drop down terminal
• Switcher - Switch windows or launch applications quickly
• Dash to Dock - A floating dock for Gnome Shell
• Hide Top Bar - Autohide the top bar for maximum screen real estate
• Notification Banner Reloaded - Configure notification banner position
• Coverflow Alt-Tab - Replaces Alt-Tab with a cover flow animation
• Impatience - Speed up Gnome Shell animations
• Arch Linux Updates Indicator
• Fullscreen Hot Corner
• Window is Ready - Notification Remover

For software development I use the Arch Linux open source build of Visual Studio Code with the Spacegray VSCode theme and the Material Icon Theme icon pack with a minimal UI to help me maintain focus on the code.

The following are some (but not all) of the extensions I use on a daily basis.

• Project Manager
• EditorConfig for VS Code
• Better Folding
• Markdown All in One
• File Utils
• new-file
• Todo Tree
• CodeSnap

• PHP Intelephense
• PHP Namespace Resolver
• laravel intellisense
• laravel-blade
• Simple PHP CS Fixer 3
• PHP Static Analysis
• PHP Debug
• phpcs

• Vue Language Features (Volar)
• Prettier - Code formatter
• ESLint

• Git Source Control
• Docker + Docker Compose
• Todoist

When working from home I dock my laptop at my desk.

• Dell Ultrasharp U2718Q 27-Inch 4K IPS Monitor
• Microsoft Surface Keyboard (Wireless)
• Logitech G703 Mouse + Powerplay Wireless Charging Mouse Pad

While on the go I use a GORUCK Echo 16L backpack to transport my laptop and peripherals.
