Yo! My name is Chris.
I’m a writer, podcaster, and doggo daddy exploring my mental health right now. I made a salary shooting and editing videos and commercials for a marketing agency, but that was not living, as I’ve learned. Yup, I met a woman and moved to CAN to be with her. I’m very lucky to have her support as I try to heal myself.
I’ve used linux for certain tasks for over 10 years. WAP server for my Motorola candybar phone back in the day, music server for the various places I’ve lived, and other dabblings. A few years ago, I installed CrunchBang on a n old laptop my father-in-law gave me. I thought I might take a serious stab at linux as a daily driver, but the laptop was chained to its power supply. Regardless, I loved openbox!
Now, my ancient Macbook Pro is lagging. So, I decided to dual boot to linux and make another attempt. I wanted to use Bunsenlabs, but these Macs with their dual graphics cards seemed to make any install I tried do nothing but give me a black screen. I found Archlabs and I have come full circle. When I found CrunchBang, it was after a failed attempt installing Arch!
Hi! I look forward to picking your brains and learning more linux. I used ReFind to get the install started and grub over wrote it. I can go back to MacOS by holding the option key, surely. Then, I could probably run the ReFind script again to fix it, but forget that! I want to use AL!
I moved from Michigan to CAN, so I understand tornadoes all too well. I saw some that hadn’t touched down when I was a kid. That was freaky. Also saw a small one in a field once while driving. Stay safe!
According to my team of experts (the same one I mentioned in the World Cup tread) the plane travel will affect the quality of the product. They reckon I’d better bring Whisky.
For sure they know more about boozes than football.
So that’s the idea: I’ll come to visit NZ and if I ever decide to come back I’ll drag you a$$ here straight to the pub.
Sounds like a plan?
Wow, such a friendly community here. This is awesome! It reminds me of mastodon. Hopefully, with my limited linux knowledge I’ll be able to help people here and continue to converse.
