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?

    Foundry is a virtual tabletop I use for my DnD game I’ve been DMing for my group for the last four years. It’s only on windows right now because I also use it for streaming games from my gaming rig, and the Linux drivers for the Xbox controller Bluetooth option weren’t up to par. I’ve since gotten a Xbox wireless dongle which is supposed to work flawlessly. When I have more time I’ll probably switch it back over to Linux.

    I run a node.js version of foundry as a service from it though, and everyone just accesses it through their browser window. I’m 100% with you on preferring Linux. My deadline for getting it switched back over is probably when win10 goes EOL, because it is an old enough PC that it can’t install win11 without the workarounds.

      Sounds like you‘re ready to come back! Thanks for mentioning the dnd thing. I dm myself and maybe it would be a good addition to my toolset. :)

        If you have any questions I’d be happy to try and answer them. My favorite part is that it isn’t subscription based. Once you own a license, it’s yours. MacOS, Linux, and windows support too. There are hundreds of modules, with fantastic support for DND 5E, Pathfinder 2.5, and then Star Wars 5e.
