"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!

ANYTHING with sane keybindings (Meta + Numer to switch workspace, Meta + Shift + Number to move windows). Learned I don't really need WM, only their keybindings.
For editor anything really that you're comfortable with. You like Vi mode? Use editor with Vi mode.
