   Today I feel like installing https://redcorelinux.org/ again.
   I had some slight issues compiling some of the software I use on it, but now I'll give it another try.

     @miwilc Yeah, I tested solus for a good while, I really like that distro. Very solid. I enjoy that one for sure.

     @miwilc Redcore would not boot on the x200 with libreboot, so I might opt for something else. (I like to have same OS on all machines, and the x200 is the tricky one).
     I figured Redcore would boot since Gentoo works, but it failed to do so.
     I'll grab latest solus and see how that one works, I think that one boots up if I remember correctly, I'll know in 5 minutes.

     @utzer I install it on real hardware (not virtual), first thing I do is to install all my 'daily' software that I need (browsers\ftp client\emacs\steam and so on), I usually create a script for doing that when I test a new distro, to make it faster next time if I get back to it.
     The next step is to get all my development stuff up and running, usually what I do there is to make sure I can get blender compiled from source with cuda\nvidia and all other features that I need, then I usually compile Godot game engine. I have all my own development stuff in a repository - so that is easy to clone and get up and running.
     After all this I use the distro for everything I need, then if some issue rises I check if I can get it fixed and create scripts for such fixes, to make it easier next time.
     If I end up with issues I cannot get fixed - I just move on, or when I get tired of using the same distro everyday I just swap it out with a new one.

     @utzer I also have all the things I really 'need' on a owncloud server, so with a clean install of any OS is fast to get up and running because I only need to add the missing software, compile the others I need, then sync my owncloud data, then I have everything I need.
