Foot is the fastest and I use it as default. Second is Kitty because it uses GPU acceleration.

Startet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:

• Redhat
• Suse Linux
• Gentoo
• Sabayon Linux
• Debian
• Kdenlive
• Arch
• Ubuntu Studio
• Fedora
• Fedora Silverblue
• since 2017 NixOS

NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.

Another NixOS user.

For audio files sox and beets are my live saver.

Fun fact: I use NixOS since six years now and at least in the first two years the Arch Wiki helped me a lot to understand the NixOS configuration options.
