Software I Use

My basic philosophy behind the programs I use is a mixture of minimalism and neccessary business functionality. I don't always follow my philosophical underpinnings perfectly, but no one really does.

Operating System/Distribution

I use Fedora Linux for regular PC activities and Windows 11 for gaming. I like Fedora for it's semi-rolling release model if you want to know more please read this blog post on it. I used CentOS back when I worked in the data center world which built up my affinity for RPM-based distros of GNU/Linux.

Terminal

I use Bash for all GNU/Linux distros and ksh (KornShell) on OpenBSD devices. I see no reason to change from the default shells as it works fine for my needs.

Text editing and Shell Scripting

I generally switch between Mg (this website is proudly edited in the Mg text editor) or Nano depending on what flavor of Linux/UNIX I'm using. I love the ease of use that Mg has and would highly recommend it to anyone who is technologically inclined.

Hardware

I'm a big fan of SBCs (Single Board Computers) and Mini PCs as you'll soon see when I add some more homelab content. I'm currently running the PELADN Mini PC, N100 for my Fedora PC.
