• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  I have been using fluxbox[1] for many years now, happily.

• What's the good window manager for a beginner?

  As far as wms go, I always liked fluxbox and xmonad. Openbox has its fans, and i3 is very popular. I prefer a de over a wm but I know a lot of people use i3. Source: over 2 years ago

• What is your development setup (IDE, gems, library, ci/cd etc) for RoR/non-RoR applications development ?

  Linux (Fedora), gvim (because it opens a new window instead of taking up yet-another-terminal-tab), fluxbox (because it has awesomely configurable hot-key support), dotfiles, chruby + ruby-install (with rubies installed into /opt/rubies), bundler + rspec + yard + rubygems-tasks + gemspec_yml + GitHub Actions on all of my Ruby projects.
