Ohhh I forgot about those :) I use a Dvorak Latin american keyboard. I use i3wm automatic configuration to set keys. As I use Emacs I shift Ctrl and Mayus. In my .bashrc I just change for "history" to be 10,000 entries and recently I posted about “ls” but I've had this for a couple days.

I use a german keyboard layout and always map the "escape" key on the "capslock" key, since I use vim and this comes very handy. The rest of my tuning goes basically to my vimrc and the related plugins, also I make my i3 wm behave more like vim, I install zsh configure it, I set a nice

You really like Debian my friend :) Your wallpaper is beautiful. Is not necessarily about preload or swappiness, those are just the things I do :)
