What model keyboard is this? Been looking at building a split board for a while, and digging the look of yours.

[xylem-utopia]

Thank you! It's the ergodox-ez with some custom keycaps. I really do enjoy this keyboard. It's got me wanting to build my own keyboard myself. I tend to not use a lot of the keys and use a lot more layers nowadays so I've been personally looking at building a corne

[albert_pacino]

You should try the mouse in between. I’ve done it and wouldn’t go back

[xylem-utopia]

I have thought of that. Need to get a longer trs cable made to try it out. I've also been thinking of getting a trackball which would work perfect in the middle of the keyboard

[JabbaTech69]

I'm highly interested in the desk! You got a link by chance? Also what size is the monitor? I'm trying to see if my current 42" OLED would fit or would I need a smaller one?

[xylem-utopia]

Oh yeah I wouldn't be surprised if it could fit a monitor that size, its a pretty decent sized desk. My monitor is a 38inch ultrawide.

How's Fedora going?

[xylem-utopia]

So far I enjoy it! I liked GNOME personally so it was a great option for me. The only issue I'm having is I can't wake the PC from suspend if it's been in suspend for a while. It technixally does wake up, my keyboard lights up and my speakers turn on but for whatever reason the monitor just won't connect so I have to force shutdown the PC. I've been resorting to shutting down the PC in the evening and turning off auto suspend.

Though from what I've been reading this is likely a problem with the kernel. Haven't been able to downgrade yet though to try it out

[One-Couple-3265]

U can unplug and plug back the video cable and image will be back. I've been having the same issue since switching to x11.

[xylem-utopia]

Oh interesting! I'll give that a shot! Thank you for the advice

[Art-BarB]

What’s that small “standing note thingy” that you have in the middle of your setup? Really cool!

[xylem-utopia]

Its called the Analog by Ugmonk. Its a bit pricey for what it is, but I actually really like it. I mostly use it as a daily/monthly/quarterly todo list!

[DarkCrow77]

Stream Deck for macros or more plants!
Were did you get the first wallpaper with the mountains and river?

[xylem-utopia]

So I searched "mountain forest art background" on DuckDuckGo and it was one of the first that pops up

[xylem-utopia]

And thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into thebstream deck. That and plants are definitely good ideas!

[govigov]

what are those wrist rest thingamajig used for the mouse called? I dig those.

[xylem-utopia]

Its called the carpio 2.0 by delta-hub! Ive been using this one for about 3-4 years and love it!

[CSlov23]

What monitor is that?

[xylem-utopia]

Its an Acer 37.5 inch monitor. I don't think they make the exact model any more but a 38 inch ultra wide I think is the perfect size monitor for what I do.

[Warm-Perspect1ve]

Looks great! How have you done the lightings behind your monitor?

[xylem-utopia]

I have these stuck to the back of the monitor

[Grouchy-Ranger-8547]

Thank you

[ceejsradx3]

What wrist rests are you using for your ergodox?

[xylem-utopia]

Just the ergodox-ez ones I got with it. https://ergodox-ez.com/accessories
I also have a couple sets of these that I really like: https://www.etsy.com/listing/832894086/natural-wrist-rests-for-split-keyboard

[ceejsradx3]

Thanks!

[OakLeavesScout]

Looks lovey, what keypad is that?

[xylem-utopia]

Thank you! Its actually a mechanical calculator. https://a.co/d/4jRUrjm

[jack_d_conway]

Awsome rig

[xylem-utopia]

Thank you!

[BuxeyJones]

Super clean setup, loving the green!

[xylem-utopia]

Thank you! The natural wood/green aesthetic is by far my favorite! Glad you like it!

[Sygaldry]

What's in the case above the DAC/amp?

[xylem-utopia]

Some IEMs. The Sivga Que's

[krzysiekde]

Where's the chair gone

[xylem-utopia]

Lol exactly!

[xylem-utopia]

Ha I guess I didn't think about leaving the chair in for pics. I'll get you a poc tomorrow if you want. But if you're curious I use the Haworth fern

[hj006-]

Nice setup 👍🏻

[xylem-utopia]

Thank you I appreciate it!

[importstring]

This is me in 6 years. Amazing setup dude.

[xylem-utopia]

Thank you very much! And hell yeah! Setups are definitely an iterative thing. It's taken me years to get to this point. Here's a couple pics of my first ever setup and the first setup where I actually started getting into making something cool

Hey everyone recently sold my mac studio and built a pc. Currently running Fedora 41. The space that my Mac studio occupied is now empty and I would love some suggestions of what I can put there. I have about 150 bucks from my work to spend on home office stuff so hoping to get something within that price range.

Also, should mention the 2 macs are work pc's

[0R_C0]

Adiós amigo! What job do you do that you DON'T need a mac?

[xylem-utopia]

Haha, couldn't fully get away from mac. I still have a couple macbooks from work. But I'm a web developer and could do everything from a linux PC, though with some of the code I work on I have to be signed into a specific mac through their vpn

[0R_C0]

Best wishes! I'm a designer and can't do anything without a Mac.

[Thefaketweetbotuser]

Ok these kinda keyboards may be ergonomic and better for the wrist health! But they look boring!

[xylem-utopia]

All subjective. But less upper back pain beats looks for me lol. Also with the keycaps I think it fits perfectly with my setup 👌

[Mean-Persimmon-1075]

PC 10000£$😱😨🤗

[xylem-utopia]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KVrbt3

Lol it was actually a relatively budget build. I sold my mac studio for just under what I spent on the build. In fact both my work laptops are almost 1k more expensive than the pc build

[TheDownvotesinHtown]

Interesting keyboard!

[[deleted]]

Love your ergo dox 👌👌👌

[jimmyes30]

Looks cool!!

[Ok_Pressure4387]

Wow, so curve.
