In my previous article, I gave a list of criteria that can be used to help choose a Linux distribution. In this post, I will go through these point-by-point, summarize how different distributions pass or fail these tests, and reveal my present-day choice.

The power to choose is a good thing, so long as you are choosing right. That has become difficult for most people in the Linux world, where there is a bewildering range of possibilities, and the advice you get, instead of narrowing things down, tends to simply re-emphasize the great quantity of your options. It’s no wonder that people who might be interested in trying an alternative operating system never start. In this two-part series, I will present a list of some of the factors that I considered in choosing a distribution, and show the reasoning process in action.

As of the time of this writing, it's been about a day since my adventure in attempting to use the terminal for all tasks began. This will be somewhat abbreviated compared to the last post, for the purpose of getting it online in a reasonable time.

For most people, the age of computer terminals ended after MS-DOS. But starting today at around 10:30 AM, and continuing for a day or two, I intend to use only terminal-esque programs on my desktop computer.

I like to think of myself as a precise person, but the reality is that a lot of the time, things fall through the cracks.

I've spent time around computers and/or programming, and sometimes I hear people say things to the effect that what I do is "complicated" or "over [their] head". What that seems to imply to me is, "I could never do that". In this article, I intend to show that not only could you do that, you may already be thinking or doing things that overlap with the programming field.

There are three families of operating systems ("OSes") for regular users in modern computing: macOS, Windows, and Linux (which includes Google’s Chrome OS).

I suppose it is appropriate that my first working demo of object-oriented programming would be a game.

"Users don't always want things to work faster"?

Welcome to the first public post from gPress! I didn't expect to return to blogging again, but circumstances have made it compelling, and if I'm going to blog, I want to do it with a platform that suits me.
