RE: An Atheist on a Mission From God (TM): What the hell I'm up to, and why it matters

in #steemit9 years ago

If you're feeling up to it, a really great starting point is running linux on your main computer. Linux is interesting from a number of standpoints:

  • It runs on phones, servers, cars, and embedded devices
  • It's developed by thousands of independent developers as well as corporations
  • It's distributed in "distributions" which are curated collections of code
    • There are literally hundreds of these distributions

Another interesting linux excercise is certainly flashing old Android smartphones. You can update their software in myriad interesting ways. I have a little tinkering going on, working to get full Linux (not android) onto an a33 tablet. Hopefully I can get a distributable ROM put together for it :).

I dont know if I would want to commit to linux until I have another laptop. I do use it on my thinkpad that I use to create my coloring books and digital art with. So, I am familiar with linux somewhat.

If you have a 2nd machine with linux, good enough! What distro do you use?
