-## Currently Supported Linux Systems
+## Currently Supported Systems
+
+This information is as of 2025-11-21.
+
+### Primary
+
+These are the operating systems used as my daily driver.
+
+#### Debian Trixie
+
+This has been used as my primary server and workstation OS since at least 2024.
+The `apt` version of `ansible` in both Bookworm and Trixie are sufficient,
+no longer need to use `ansible` out of `pip`.
+
+### Secondary
+
+These are tested via my Docker project's `ProvisionsTests` container but not currently used as daily drivers.
+
+#### Arch
+
+TBD
+
+#### Fedora
+
+TBD
+
+#### OpenSUSE
+
+TBD
+
+#### Ubuntu
+

+
+## Previusly Supported Systems
+
 ### Debian Family
+
 #### Debian
+
 100%, but only if using a recent enough version of Ansible. `pip` usually has a
 better version than `apt`.
+
 #### Ubuntu
+
 100%, both server and desktop.
+
 #### Pop!_OS
+
 100%, have not used for a while though.
+
 #### Mint
+
 100%, but not really used, just tested once for fun.
+
 #### Parrot Security OS (MATE)
+
 100% for a while, but OS did not serve maintainer's needs and 404 errors were
 terrible while updating. Ubuntu Rolling Rhino filled the gap.
 
 ### Arch Family
+
+#### Arch
+
+100% at some point, including installation and configuration of a Desktop Environment.
+
 #### Manjaro

 Workstation: Currently failing at `[Workstation | Linux | Flatpak Distro | Package Manager | Install From Repo]` with message `Problem: nothing provides libedataserver-1.2.so.24 needed by the to be installed evolution-data-server-32bit-3.34.4-3.3.1.x86_64`.
 
 ### NixOS
+
 99%, still need to get Telegraf going and refactor local.yml but everything else
 is working well. It is automatically implementing git.hyperling.com/me/env-nixos.
 
-## Currently Supported Unix Systems
 ### FreeBSD 12, 13
+
 100%, although GUI is not working completely on 13 yet (dash-to-dock doesn't compile).
 Software choices are slightly more limited since not `flatpak`-enabled and not feeling a `ports` setup.
 
 ## Waiting To Be Tested
+
 ### Kali Linux
+
 ### Arch Linux ARM
+
 Specifically for the Pinephone.
+
 ### Arch Linux x86
+
 Would be great to have Arch get built up by this. Used for many years but left
 after update problems due to a long computer hiatus.
+
 ### Fedora Mobile
+
 Specifically for the Pinephone.
 
 ## Future Goals
+
 Eventually some of the scripts and install files will be put into the files
 folder. This will allow initializing systems outside of the maintainer's home
 network.
