+  <h1>My Computing Setup</h1>
+  <p>
+    I'm generally very particular about how I use my computer and the software that runs on it. I
+    don't always configure my tools in the most "user-friendly" way, but rather the most efficient
+    way for me. In other words, I prefer function over form -- if something can be done faster in a
+    terminal, I wouldn't use the GUI version. I also generally prefer free software, as in software
+    which respects the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html"
+      >four essential freedoms.</a
+    > However, I'm not a fanatic, and I run proprietary blobs in my firmware and drivers to get my hardware
+    to function properly.
+  </p>
+  <h2>First, some brief hardware details</h2>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Intel Core i7-13700KF</li>
+    <li>RTX 4080 (Founder's Edition)</li>
+    <li>32GB DDR5 memory at 5200 mt/s</li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+    The other hardware details of my computer are not particularly interesting. I do have an AIO
+    water cooler.
+  </p>
+  <h2>Software</h2>
+  <p>
+    I run <a href="https://archlinux.org/">Arch Linux</a> with the
+    <a href="https://hyprland.org/">Hyprland</a> desktop environment. My OS choice is mostly
+    pragmatic, I don't feel strong allegiances to any particular distro. I simply use Arch as it
+    lets me configure my system exactly how I want and has an up to date and large user package
+    repository. I've also been interested in looking into <a href="https://nixos.org/">NixOS</a>,
+    but I don't yet have 40 hours per week to configure my operating system, unfortunately. I use
+    Hyprland because:
+  </p>
+  <ol>
+    <li>
+      Tiling window managers are infinitely superior and anyone who disagrees has never experienced
+      productivity.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Hyprland implements most modern Wayland features which is very important as I'm on Nvidia.
+    </li>
+  </ol>
+  <p>I also keep a Windows installation around, mainly for gaming.</p>
+  <h2>Code editing</h2>
+  <p>
+    One of the most used pieces of software on a developer's computer is their text editor, so I
+    spent a lot of time settling on one. In the past, I used <a
+      href="https://code.visualstudio.com/">Visual Studio Code</a
+    >, but I've since switched to
+    <a href="https://neovim.io/">Neovim.</a> VS Code is a fine editor and I recommend it to anyone
+    new to programming, but it just doesn't make sense for me to run a full electron app when I
+    don't need any of the fancy GUI features and I can work faster in Neovim. Modern code editing
+    has mostly become editor-agnostic anyways with the advent of
+    <a href="https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/">LSP</a>, so most of the
+    important features are available in practically every editor anyways.
+  </p>
+  <p>As for my terminal, my main priorities (in order) are:</p>
+  <ol>
+    <li>Performance</li>
+    <li>Font rendering quality and support (ligatures, etc)</li>
+    <li>Additional quality of life features</li>
+  </ol>
+  <p>
+    Since my editor (Neovim) runs purely in a terminal, performance is the most important since any
+    perceptible latency or lag quickly becomes extremely annoying. Otherwise, it would probably
+    shift down to the bottom of the list.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    I've tried <a href="https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/">kitty</a> and
+    <a href="https://alacritty.org/">Alacritty</a> but ended up settling on kitty. Although Alacritty
+    (allegedly) has better performance, kitty is practically the same in day-to-day use (and I heard
+    it has better latency, too). I ended up choosing kitty mainly due to its more versatile configuration
+    as well as support for font ligatures. It also has tabs and native multiplexing, which the maintainers
+    of Alacritty refuse to support (which is fine, with tmux or zellij, but native is nice to have).
