Here is a list of notable equipment and tools I use. The purpose of this list is to remind myself to be intentional about the things that I surround myself with and utilize on a daily basis.
- Logitech G604 (Purchased in 2020) — Used exclusively for playing FFXIV because that game has way too many short cooldowns to be mapping only on the keyboard.
- Recently, I purchased a bunch of IEMs that were on sale at [Linsoul](https://www.linsoul.com/) and am currently using whatever I open first. Turns out I prefer using IEMs over headphones.
- Previously, I used the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X headphones (from 2014–2024) until it died.
- **Operating system**: [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/) KDE
- In 2024, I switched over to using Linux on my personal computer. Surprisingly, the transition has been smooth sailing with some minor audio/video issues that were easy to fix.
- Alternatives I've tried: Arch Linux, Solus, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Windows 11/10/8/XP/1998, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, etc.
- I don't like how reliant gamers have become on Discord functioning.
- However, I also don't miss the days of having to install Ventrilo, Mumble, TeamSpeak, Skype, RaidCall, Curse Voice, etc. on your computer because different teams and friend groups used different voice programs.
- I've tried and used an unbelieveable number of note-taking applications over the years.
- Capacities has been the only app that has made sense to me in terms of linking relavant notes together. It also checks the boxes for features that I am looking for in a note-taking application.
- Alternatives I've tried: Obsidian, Logseq, Standard Notes, BookStack, Joblin, Notion, Simple Note, TiddlyWiki, GitBook, Notational Velocity, Evernote, OneNote, etc.
