help-circle














  • I like Linux, but it sucks to support it in a corporate environment, specifically when it comes to trying to help end-users with it.

    There’s so many distros and configurations, and the ones who call in with issues are the ones who probably shouldn’t be using Linux because they barely know how to work a computer, it was just their well meaning family member who put them on it.



  • I was about 13, parents were getting divorced, house was being shortsaled, mom had moved out already and took the main computer with her, dad got a really old Windows XP Dell laptop (had a red nubbin) from a friend to use, it ran so extremely slow on XP already (literally would take minutes to load a video and it was choppy doing just that) I knew Vista or 7 couldn’t run on it so I looked online for other OSes that might work.

    Landed on Linux mint, got that bad boy set up in my little sisters (now empty) room as it was in the corner where I could reach my neighbor friend’s wifi. I watched so much Bleach/Naruto that summer lol

    Luckily I had setup that neighbor friends wifi with DDWRT so I knew the pw :P
