Systems and Software Stack
I own and maintain quite a few different computers running various operating systems. To organise them, their hostnames are set to towns and cities from the first five Pokémon generations.
After trying many different distros and setups I've settled on FreeBSD for servers, Fedora KDE for stable systems and Artix KDE for systems I like to tinker with.
