Hi I'm xexyz. Reject modernity and embrace tradition amirite? I like retro gaming, classic web design and alternative operating systems. I have a love to hate relationship with computers, but I've been able to tolerate technology so far thanks to the freer alternatives that exist.

software

Distribution: Artix Linux. Arch without systemd. Nothing special whatsoever. Thinking about moving to BSD at some point.
Window Manager: icewm. just werks.
Text Editor: Geany. Bite me.
Image Editor: LazPaint. Pretty underrated paint program. Serves as a nice in between for those who don't want to deal with paint programs that are too primitive or too complex. It's also a really good FOSS alternative to Paint.NET. (There's also Pinta, which mimics the Paint.NET look even more, but seems to be really buggy)
Browser: Netsurf. Nice and simple GUI browser with an independent rendering engine.
Music player: mpv. yes.

music

I like experimental music and chiptune. I listen to other stuff as well, but that is most of what I listen to. Some of my favorite chiptune artists by far would have to be Kommisar Chiptune and Henry Homesweet. I didn't really care much for chiptune until I discovered their music. The absolute passion and rock solid execution in their works is quickly noticable. As far as experimental music goes, I've listened to quite a bit of it, and while a lot of it can be very hit or miss, sound odd, and require much patience to get into, I'd say KINREK has made consistently good tracks for the most part.
