Distribution ideas
Linux distros I previously ran and enjoyed.
Table of Contents
Here are some distribution setups I've successfully ran myself and kept note of, because I found them very productive and enjoyable to use.
1. Void Linux
2. Arch Linux
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.
