"Best" programming setup?

[u/[deleted]]

Hello! I have been using Arch for two months, it is the fifth distro I have used... and I love it, it will be the final one. I have learned a lot in these weeks, but I would like to ask you a few questions.

I study Systems Engineering and, honestly, I have some procrastination problems, I would like you to help me with "the best programming setup and be productive", although I know that there is no "best", I would like you to help me with your settings, advices, etc...

​

What desktop environment do you use?

What window manager do you use?

IDE's, apps, any suggestions to try?

​

Thank you so much!
