My system, my rules.

🐧 Identity

Linux isn’t just my OS — it’s my environment, my creative space, my control center. I don’t just use Linux. I shape it. Mold it. Strip it to the essentials and rebuild it to serve me.

It’s my daily driver — not a fallback, not a tool of necessity. It’s minimal, flexible, and entirely mine to configure. I pick the pieces. I decide how they fit. Freedom isn’t just about the software being free. It’s about me being free.


⚙️ Core

I don’t use default tools unless they earn their place. Each part of my setup is chosen intentionally and refined over time.

Distro: Arch (btw) — fast, lean, and completely under my control. Editor: Neovim — because writing code should feel like carving stone, not filling forms. Shell: zsh — powered by dotfiles I’ve shaped over years of iteration. Package Manager: pacman — clean, scriptable, and fast.

This isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about clarity and speed. No bloat. No fluff. Just what I need — nothing more.


🧭 Philosophy

Linux is more than an OS. It’s a mindset.

Own your stack. Don’t rely on black boxes or magic defaults. Build systems that are light, transparent, and maintainable. Strip away the unnecessary until only purpose remains. Control matters more than convenience — because real power comes from understanding.

This isn’t about nostalgia for the terminal. It’s about knowing what your system is doing — and why.
