+### Software
+
+I currently run [Fedora Linux](https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/) with the
+Cinnamon desktop environment on my workstation. I have used OpenBSD, Artix
+Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint in the past, but I got tired of fiddling
+with things and wanted my system to Just Workâ˘.
+
+I previously used a tiling window manager setup and a bunch of hand-picked

+I just use what comes with the system (for the most part) and I get on with my
+work.
