Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
I'll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!
Anyways: I primarily use Gentoo Linux.
I have two headless servers: a Raspberry Pi 4B and a Oracle cloud VM (free tier). Both running OpenRC, and both were running mainline kernel with custom config (I recently switched the Pi to PiFoundation kernel due to some issues). The raspberry pi boots from SSD and has no sd card inserted.
Both servers were running musl libc instead of glibc for a while. This gave me a couple of random issues, but eventually I got tired and switched back to glibc.
I have a desktop running gentoo and a laptop running arch, but hoping to switch the laptop to gentoo soon.
Both are daily driving wayland (the desktop had nvidia card and used for gaming). The desktop is running a kernel with a minimal config that compiles in 2-3 minutes.
What's your unusual setup like?
Knowing some fringe users, your setup is probably ~3 points or so ahead of the middle of the bell curve. You never know. There's probably a guy running kernel 4.12 on a 1990s CPU with his showa era CRT monitor to play freedoom.
Kept reading it as fridge users and was really flummoxed for a few seconds
Well, you aren't that far off after all!
I have 100% done this. I have a picture somewhere of my old ass p3 laptop with an rgb keyboard. So not showa era crt, it's heisei era LCD (more appropriate considering it's a Sony vaio f series)
