Sublime Text has been my go-to editor for years, and with the release of Sublime Text 4, it’s gotten even better. While VSCode dominates the market with its extensive plugin ecosystem, Sublime Text 4 remains unmatched in speed, responsiveness, and elegance. Here’s my current setup that balances functionality with performance.

Why Sublime Text 4?

Sublime Text 4 brings significant improvements over ST3:

• Native support for TypeScript, JSX, and TSX
• Improved syntax highlighting engine
• Better performance with large files
• Enhanced auto-completion
• Built-in Git integration improvements
• Tab multi-select functionality

Essential Packages

Package Control

First things first - install Package Control if you haven’t already. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac), type “Install Package Control” and hit enter.

After using Elementary OS for almost half a decade since the Luna release, I wanted to explore other distributions. As I mentioned in my previous posts, Slackware was my first Linux experience, so I wanted to go for something similar this time and ended up with Arch-based Manjaro. It turned out to be a great choice! I’m still using the same laptop from my previous setup post (HP EliteBook 2570P).

After being in draft for years I am finally publishing this post updated to my current setup(Loki).

I started writing this as a documentation of my setup for self, then i thought its good to share my experience.

Linux has always been my choice of OS at home from early days of my computer usage.

Mandrake Linux was the only distro at that time known to me until I was introduce to Slackware, which has been my distro of Linux for many years. Until 2010 my pc setup was mostly windows/slackware dual-boot and windows at work place for obvious reasons.
