All my machines are named on some variation of David Bowie albums. Outside - my laptop, Blackstar - server 1, Stardust - server 2, etc.
My boss at the time (I was a writer for a tech magazine) asked me to review FreeBSD. I couldn’t get it to install (at all) so someone suggested Linux (Slackware) which was an insane idea at the time around 1995 or 1996. Slackware sort of worked, no sound and I had to do various really annoying things to get it to see my modem (which never really worked). But something about it was interesting and I stuck with it.
Go with a pixel, yes Google is evil and all that but its the least bloatware system.
