Software I use

Operating System:

• I use Linux and Unix On my workstations I use Arch Linux oh yeah “I use Arch by the way!” This has somehow become the elitist mantra meme of Arch users. But I don’t care what Linux you use, or even unix, the mach kernel on unix is stretching things and Microgarbage, what are you my grandmother!
