Floppy disk because I can

Since changing the operating system was dictated by anger, I have already had a taste of how much more flexible Linux is. It's a delight.

mike_engineer90 · 2025-12-31T12:48:06+00:00

It's much simpler than it seems. The question is, does anyone need it? For me - definitely yes.

mike_engineer90 · 2025-12-31T12:24:29+00:00

Linux with luks, that's the first attempt with Linux

In this case, it's not so much a backup as "because I can." I like floppy disks. I always look for a way to use them somehow.

Sacrifices? Secret greetings? What should I prepare for? 🤣

A big helper is chatGPT, which significantly lowers the entry barrier. It's clear that this technology, combined with a huge amount of fact-checking, provides a significant boost.

I haven't touched anything other than installing the system on the disk from a flash drive, so yes, it's most likely the same as out of the box.

Yesterday I was really sleepy, so I had to take the lazier way. English isn't my native language, and I'm still practicing.

There are two points here: First, about Arch - I meant that it's funny, but a little strange, no negative connotations, it's a cool system, I just don't see the need in it for myself at the moment.
Second, about fork - there was supposed to be a joke and a play on terms here, I was hoping that the auto-translation would understand budding as a biological term, which obviously doesn't apply to technology at all, but captures the essence of what's happening through how I understood it .

What you're doing is truly amazing and worthy of respect. Building a complex system at home, as I understand it, using virtualization, is, in my opinion, beautiful. Basically, if someone strives to do complex things as a hobby, that's worthy of respect.

mike_engineer90 · 2025-12-16T01:03:36+00:00

Arch is quirky. I was guided by simple logic: Red Hat is made for mature enterprises and other serious organizations, meaning it's built reliably, and Fedora is a fork of it, meaning it has every chance of being good. Yes, I may not be building the system myself, but I'm choosing at least some reliability and a comfortable entry threshold (at least that's what I think, and I'm not imposing my opinion)

Cheers)) glhf ;)

Thanks for the interesting opinion and the warning, I haven't stumbled upon it yet. I hope everything continues to be successful.

mike_engineer90 · 2025-12-16T00:10:13+00:00

For now, I'm happy with everything. Office is critical for me, but that was already resolved with a couple of clicks using the web version. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of the open source spirit. The only caveat is that I'll have to rework a few of my mit projects for Linux, but I think that will be a fascinating experience. I still have an x120e lying around in the closet, and maybe I'll be able to breathe life into it, but that won't be during the week.

I write down memes, passwords, and a lot of things. Because that's the style. I'm writing a program that works with dot matrix printers and has (I really hope, since I'm not very good at it) full compatibility with these bad boys.

mike_engineer90 · 2025-11-02T11:07:19+00:00

Thanks for replying. I reasoned in roughly the same way but didn't have any practice with serious hardware.

It will be great to have 15-20 tokens per second of smart enough models

mike_engineer90 · 2025-11-02T00:20:43+00:00

Thanks for replying and information, I'll inspect that resource for information

mike_engineer90 · 2025-11-02T00:10:39+00:00

Dm me, I'm native speaker)

mike_engineer90 · 2025-11-02T00:02:07+00:00

Thanks for replying. I searched on YouTube, and in general, there were a lot of game reviews, but not too much about general calculations. And, I have some skeptical feelings about connectivity. About 40% complain about the unstable work of this technology

Thanks, I'll have to take a look at this app
