I’ll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!

Anyways: I primarily use Gentoo Linux.

I have two headless servers: a Raspberry Pi 4B and a Oracle cloud VM (free tier). Both running OpenRC, and both were running mainline kernel with custom config (I recently switched the Pi to PiFoundation kernel due to some issues). The raspberry pi boots from SSD and has no sd card inserted.

Both servers were running musl libc instead of glibc for a while. This gave me a couple of random issues, but eventually I got tired and switched back to glibc.

I have a desktop running gentoo and a laptop running arch, but hoping to switch the laptop to gentoo soon.

Both are daily driving wayland (the desktop had nvidia card and used for gaming). The desktop is running a kernel with a minimal config that compiles in 2-3 minutes.

What’s your unusual setup like?

      I don’t use Emacs as a panel (though I’m sure you can do it somehow), I just almost always have a window open so I can just look at its tab bar.

      This is how it looks: https://ibb.co/tbyZ8vH

      And when the window is too small, it uses two lines: https://ibb.co/s3dhzCr

      These are from my main PC, which use the same setup (no battery/wifi, but you can see that the volume icon only has a single “bar”). The name of the song is truncated to the maximum possible width and “cycles” through the name. Second picture also shows tofi which was opened under my cursor in an arbitrary position. BTW the header bar only appears for the floating Emacs window (so I can drag it with a touchscreen) using a GTK css hack.

      Edit: Wow, I took the pictures 9 minutes apart and both the CPU and GPU temperatures are exactly the same (they both fluctuate slightly while idling).
