    PCManFM, Terminator, Chrome. I spend a lot of time on the command line, even writing code there. It's just where I feel comfortable, been using computers since 8 bit processors and DOS were all the rage.

    Linux : PCManFM, VeraCrypt, xed, Terminal. Android : FX file manager, Fennec ( Firefox ), Termux.

    Edit : Forgot mpv running in a tab in Termux. ( Listening to radio news. )

    iTerm2, Slack, Safari with usually 1-5 tabs open at once, Robo3T, Docker, and the ubiquitous Finder. I’m a software engineer working on a web app. I’ll also have Postico and MS Teams (better than Slack for low-bandwidth screen-sharing calls) open occasionally.
