#1 minix
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2022 9:19 am
having spent the larger part of the last 2 weeks shoehorning linux distros into the youngest' computer I thought I'd about done with computers for a while.
oh no.....
I switched on the mem sahib's laptop this morning to find firefox trying to download a failed iso from the night before. elementaryos.
mmm...the gist of the last 2 weeks has been loading a particular distro only to find he's not happy with it for some reason and wanting to move on to another flavour.....so far he's had ubuntu, debian, fedora and lately arch. Each of these has been a real pain to install for a number of reasons, and I thought with arch he'd reached the end of his fidgets. No sir, there now seems to be this elementaryos.
I think I will leave him to play by himself for a while....if he reaches the partitioning stage there's a good chance he'll be without a computer for a while, at least until I relent.
In the meantime I think I will give him the old beaglebone black and suggest he investigate minix.
if anybody is still reading this...any experience of minix?
