  • Beginning: Ubuntu.
    Until today: Arch

    Why? I found in Arch updated software that I was interested at that time, I liked the rolling distro, minimalism, AUR.

    I’m happy with my TWM (DWM) and multiplexer (tmux).

    I did install other distros in old hardware like Slitaz, Debían that needs 32 bit.

    I’m interested right now in things like Alpine and Void, because small and functional in Termux or older hardware. And some distrobox (similar to proot-distro in Termux).

    Now learning a little bit of Groff with markdown (pandoc) to create PDF, for a small and fast typesetting. I haven’t found a way to convert markdown to pdf using MOM macros in Groff.






    • This or any tiling window manager, because small screen. If dwm is hard for you, try with bellow options.
    • i3wm was my first, but now I’m happy with my actual dwm config.
    • Awesomewm starts as a dwm fork, but with all included and easier for beginners.
    • There are a lot more, but I start with this.

    You get better screen use space and smaller memory requirements.

    But your real big problem, is going to be web browser, all of them consume insane amount of RAM because of web bloat, and always is going to be a problem. Just 1 tab open and a lot of patience.

    My old netbook had just 1GB ram, later I did an upgrade to 2GB and was the maximum possible.
