### AI overview

A personal overview of a Linux desktop software setup and the author's priorities for local, terminal-based, efficient, and composable software. The article discusses using Arch Linux across computers and private servers, including kernel-module and restart issues after upgrades.

### Source excerpt

Russian Translation by Akhmad Karimov My software setup has been surprisingly constant over the last decade, after a few years of experimentation since I initially switched to Linux in 2006. It might be interesting to look back in another 10 years and see what changed. A quick overview of what's running as I'm writing this post: Motivation My software priorities are, in no specific order: Programs should run on my local system so that I'm in control of them, this excludes cloud solutions. Programs should run in the terminal, so that they can be used consistently from anywhere, including weak computers or a phone. Keyboard focused is nearly automatic by using terminal software. I prefer to use the mouse where it makes sense only, reaching for the mouse all the time during typing feels like a waste of time. Occasionally it took me an hour to notice that the mouse wasn't even plugged in. Ideally use fast and efficient software, I don't like hearing the fan and feeling the room heat up. I can also keep running older hardware for much longer, my 10 year old Thinkpad x200s is still fine for all the software I use. Be composable. I don't want to do every step manually, instead automate more when it makes sense. This naturally favors the shell. Operating Systems I had a hard start with Linux 12 years ago by removing Windows, armed with just the Gentoo Linux installation CD and a printed manual to get a functioning Linux system. It took me a few days of compiling and tinkering, but in the end I felt like I had learnt a lot. I haven't looked back to Windows since then, but I switched to Arch Linux on my laptop after having the fan fail from the constant compilation stress. Later I also switched all my other computers and private servers to Arch Linux. As a rolling release distribution you get package upgrades all the time, but the most important breakages are nicely reported in the Arch Linux News. One annoyance though is that Arch Linux removes the old kernel modules once yo
