  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Drawing</td>
      <td><a href="https://krita.org/">Krita</a> (<a href="https://www.aseprite.org/">aseprite for pixel art</a>)</td>
      <td>Krita is really good :3 I use it for pixel art too, but aseprite's tooling is much better for games</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Text and code editing</td>
      <td>Emacs (with evil mode)</td>
      <td>Vim now features AI slop, so switched to emacs with evil mode. Vim keybinds are too deep in my muscle memory</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Notes</td>
      <td><a href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a>, standard text editor</td>
      <td>For the most part, I use obsidian, since it's better at the visual parts of proper notes. Its developer experience is awful though, would not recommend making plugins for it. I often use my code editor as well, though not as much for notes I want to keep long-term</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Desktop environment</td>
      <td>KDE (primary), cinnamon (secondary)</td>
      <td>I really like cinnamon, but it has problems that make it unusable for certain things. KDE is much more stable</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Browser</td>
      <td>Firefox</td>
      <td>Firefox is one of very few engines that aren't under Google's control.</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Recording, streaming</td>
      <td>OBS</td>
      <td>Solid bit of software; it just works. Not that I stream all that much anymore, but whenever I need to record something, or the rare time I do stream, it's OBS (unless I'm streaming on discord for obvious reasons)</td>
    </tr>
