  • I was already somewhat interested in Linux (as a long time Windows user) when I started studying Computer Science, mainly for it’s core philosophy of freedom and openness.

    Given that most courses used Linux as the default OS I installed Ubuntu on my laptop to dual boot it with Windows, and began getting familiar with it.

    Over the years I started using Linux more and more, making it my main OS, with Windows still installed for the few programs I couldn’t use otherwise. Over time this set of programs became smaller and smaller, until it was just games.

    Last year I bought and assembled a new PC to replace my laptop for daily uses, and given the higher specs and better support (AMD GPU instead of Nvidia) I see no reason to have Windows on it at all. Everything I need runs perfectly fine there.

    I use Arch, btw.



  • We had a few days a year when lessons were suspended and students attended self organized activities instead.

    An entire class decided to sneak out instead, went to a bar and some students got drunk before coming back to school. One such student went to the bathroom, zipped up his pants without properly storing his equipment and ended up requiring medical attention including some stitches.

    I never met the guy or even know who he was, but the whole school was talking about it for a week or more.





  • As I’ve seen too many young girls fall into that particular trap, have high standards for your relationships and keep an eye out for people that try to control you and isolate you from your friends and family. If you have someone you trust, talk to them and ask for advice, as it’s entirely too easy to get blinded by love and realize too late someone is not good for you, but a good friend or relative can usually see that from a mile away.
