From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The world of Linuxia beckons you! Your annoying guide flexes their gear the moment you spawn

Gentoo USB (Rare):
=> USE flags: Can rebuild itself
   with or without the other
   three attributes
=> March native: Increases attack
   speed by 1% or -1%
=> Slot: Can use two versions of any
   attribute at the same time
=> PGO: The USB memorizes when you
   attack to increase speed, trading
   off for lower speed elsewhen.
   Requires two rebuilds.

Charm of systemd (common):
=> nspawn: Can build with deeper focus
=> Wisdom tax: The wise are less
   likely to feel neutral toward you
   (+2 or -2 charisma)
=> Chant of systemd: By chanting
'systemd-analyze calendar "Fri *-*-13"',
   the caster instantly knows when
   the next Friday the 13th is.

Let's have some fun! Spells, items, and dungeons oh my!

I might be displaying my ignorance of TTRPG systems, my Linux distro and my window manager, but here we go!

Arch Linux [uncommon armor]

manual installation process — +2 WIS
Arch Wiki — +2 on arcana checks
AUR — +1 DEX
system update — after every long rest, roll a d20. on a nat 1, you have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws until the next long rest.
I use Arch btw — +2 on persuasion checks against people who use this same armor

Customized Hyprland [rare armor, attunement]

attunement prerequisite: once every long rest, roll arcana with DC 25. must succeed thrice
unlimited customization — when attuned, +2 CHA
perpetually under construction — regardless of attunement, -1 DEX

Customized Neovim [rare weapon, attunement]

attunement prerequisite: once every long rest, roll arcana with DC 25. must succeed thrice
unlimited customization — when attuned, +2 to attack rolls
learning cliff — disadvantage to attack rolls when not attuned to this weapon
I use (neo)vi(m) — regardless of attunement, +2 on persuasion checks against people who use a similar weapon to this one (DM discretion)

I recommend BTRFS for the CON bonus.

Don't worry, I'm kind of ignorant on it too! But it's fun :)

Bowl of Rice (uncommon, consumable)
=> Funroll loop: When eaten,
   options apply for ten turns
=> Config hell: User is a survivor
   of config hell. -2 dexterity and
   +1 int until the next rest.
   Attunement-based items
   increase stat options by +1
   each in exchange for -2 CON each.
=> Screenshot: +1 CHA when a
   photograph is taken
=> Form over function: User is drawn
   to rainbow pastel. -2 on WIS checks

That loop of config hell is real! It has subsided recently because I got enticed into writing my own widgets. Also, yes to rainbow pastel (tho I'm using gruvbox as a base/reference color theme).
