Choosing a Linux Distribution, Part II

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.

Choosing A Linux Distribution, Part I

The power to choose is a good thing, so long as you are choosing right.

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.

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).

Virtual Dice Games

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