Here are some distribution setups I've successfully ran myself and
kept note of, because I found them very productive and enjoyable to
use.

* Void Linux


* Arch Linux
<2015-01-01 Thu>--<2021-12-31 Fri>

I ran this setup from freshman year of college until my return from
the USA approximately, first on a Lenovo T440 Thinkpad, then on a Dell
7567 Gaming Edition. I only left because curiosity pushed me to
investigate other distros, but I might very well return to a very
similar setup in the future! I loved the Arch learning experience, and
the memes, of course.


** Guiding Principles
