1. Linux is not an operating system. It is simply a kernel used as part of an operating system. All the so-called Linux distributions are actually distributions of GNU/Linux.
2. Arch is rolling release. You will always have the latest software. There is no such thing as "updating to the next version of Arch".
3. Keep it simple. At the end of the day, you only need to use your computer for a few specific tasks, such as listening to music, writing software, sending messages, and using the internet.
4. You have complete control over your software. There is no need to insult your computer. If something doesn't work, it's more often than not user error.
1.**Simplicity.** It should be trivial to find and edit the things you're looking for; to get things done. Once mastered, the interface should not get in the way.
2.**Reproducability.** It should be trivial to reproduce your previous environment from a fresh install.
3.**Universality.** All functionality should be handled through the terminal.

By default I keep track of the many useful commands and other features I use on a daily basis. Please not that these are not a replacement for reading the man pages of said software.
One thing that always annoyed me was viewing the dotfiles of other people. Many people leave all the default settings in their dotfiles, when the same exact settings are going to be sourced anyway before calling the config file. Your dotfiles should only have what you're changing and nothing else.
