Do you code in silence or do you listen to music? If so, what kind of music do you prefer? Personally, I prefer Synthwave, vaporwave or the occasional country.

The vast majority of the time I prefer silence. Unlike @stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog, my #ADHDnotesfollow gets distracted with music. When I do listen to music, it has to be no vocals. I find #SpaceMusicnotesfollow, like Jonn Serrie, Brian Eno, and Steve Roach best for me.
depends on my mood and inner state sometimes just silence sometimes background from mynoise .net sometimes a punk rock web radio sometimes my music collection (I stream myself, that's right). mostly punk rock again. very occasional let YouTube run starting from something I like

Brikka. Someone on HN mentioned it as great design. I looked it up and bought it after a while. It's been such a delight. Even the occasional brew gone wrong adds to the experience. v60 is also nice when I need it to slow down or be the experience a bit meditative. But Chinese tea is the best for that.
i just get lazier and lazier over time. now it is a portafilter espresso machine, DeLonghi Dedicated, along with a separate grinder, Baratza Encore. what I love is try out regional types of coffee, but this then always outside, and on travels.

Iโ€™m not supposed to take that literally of course, but I donโ€™t think software has such an important role in our lives, for most of us. Water, food, air. Those you canโ€™t live without. When it comes to software, I spend most of my workdays in the shell (vim, git, grep,โ€ฆ) and if $place allows in mutt+weechat (although thatโ€™s mostly outlook and teams). Nothing particularly new!

Nextcloud with Files, Talk, Calendar, Memories and more is damn useful for family life though ๐Ÿ™‚

I use Ubuntu with the default Gnome Desktop. I like it a lot and it just works. I've been using it since the beginning. It is not perfect (what distro is?) but it works fine for me.

Same here except I landed on fedora with default gnome desktop. The old desktops I ssh into are Debian though. Edit: spelling fix I to -> into

Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.

i distro hoped a lot. Finally i found my cozy home with debian with kde. 3 years still running without a problem all the software i use works perfectly and the games run smoothly.

Arch with i3, have been using it for like 7-8 years now. Started out at elementary os, really good and everything, but the thing where I dont need to install *-dev libs separately saves me a lot of time during compilations and building. Also, AUR is a life saver at times.
