If you hate bloat you like Slackware. It doesn't assume anything about how you want to use your computer, so it's more painful for a lot of folks. Other distros will try to do things for you and will ultimately end up doing something someone doesn't want. With Slackware you learn a lot and you get a rock-solid system that will do whatever you like, but you have to be willing to manage it.

GODDAMMIT MEXICO IS MAKING US LOOK BAD!!!
Ah, one who was here in the beginning; one who knows the Old Ways
You WILL actually end up with a boring, white collar job, and you can make a lot more money a hell of a lot easier if you don't get any tattoos from the neck up.
Also, you hate them but you're really good with computers.
NM has what you're looking for; cost of living is very low, you can kind of pick the climate you want. We're also blue as a twitter check-mark. We're not super-diverse though; mostly white and Mexican descent depending on where you hang your hat.
Weekend was good. On Monday I plan to keep healing up from my vasectomy Thursday, planning to work on the 3-4 projects I have assigned at work while listening to The Three Body Problem audiobook from my local library.
Generally I work too much; I keep getting raises but I don't need more money, I need more life.
