I have come to rely greatly on Code, which is the default code editor on elementary.
#ELEMENTARY OS ON CHROMEBOOK SOFTWARE#
What one piece of Linux software do you depend upon? Why is it so important? It is fast, fluid, and it makes my old hardware run like new. It is actually one of the main reasons I use elementary. I use Pantheon, which comes default on elementary. What desktop environment do you use and why do you use it? I am currently using elementary OS (5.1). What distribution do you run on your main desktop/laptop? This is an older piece I wrote, which explains my “why” for Linux more in-depth. I have found that with my current hardware set up, Windows is just a bit too much in terms of system requirements to be anything other than frustrating.

Right now desktop Linux is what works for me. I’m not against Microsoft or Apple, but I like to use what works. I use Linux for all the stereotypical reasons. I have used Linux in varying capacities since 2004. By profession, I’m in cyber security, and Linux does cross-over somewhat into my day-to-day. I use it to practice/experiment with HTML and CSS, as well as improve my writing skills.

I’m Steve Best, and I have a site that is really more of a hobby than anything else called The Art Directed Journal.

You can follow me on Mastodon here and follow me on Twitter here. You can find more of The Linux Setup here. There are philosophical reasons for choosing free and open source tools, but there are also practical ones. And I definitely hear Steve on the pragmatism of Linux. I should probably give it another chance someday. I played with elementary years and years ago and it didn’t feel right for my workflow, but it seems like it’s picking up more and more steam. I found Steve via this very thorough review of elementary.
