List of all my Software and Owned Hardware

This page is for anybody who is interested in the software and tools I use to complete my daily tasks.
Software
Operating systems & philosophy
I’ve experimented with various workstation operating systems, including different Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Alpine, Artix, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Windows variants. However, my preferred distribution is Void Linux. It’s an independent, from-scratch rolling release that not only works but always works.
Void Linux uses the outstanding xbps package manager, which is rock-solid and one of the quickest package managers available. It also features the runit init system instead of systemd, following the KISS principle and offering a compact, quick, and user-friendly init system.
When it comes to my operating system or program workflow, my top goal is to remove impediments. While I don’t mind a little adjusting now and then, I prefer an approach that doesn’t cause any unnecessary delays, allowing me to keep working. Usually, I achieve this through one-time configurations carried out via handwritten scripts.
