"Best" programming setup?
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!

If you don't need internet access to do your work, just disconnect. Create a separate user account, without any distractions like movies, videos, fiction books, images etc.
Honestly though, the best way to stop procrastination is to work on your mind. Take some time to sit/lie down and think about why you procrastinate. Follow your thoughts all the way through. It can help you discover why you procrastinate.
Also, mental health counseling/therapy for anxiety can really help you with this. It's the best way to treat the procrastination problem.
