|
<p>I've always used GNU/Linux distributions on my machines at home sing 1997.
|
|
A brief list of the distributions I've used:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Slackware</li>
|
|
<li>RedHat</li>
|
|
<li>CentOS</li>
|
|
<li>Fedora Core</li>
|
|
<li>Ubuntu</li>
|
|
<li>Fedora</li>
|
|
<li>Raspbian</li>
|
|
<li>Gentoo</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Currently, I'm using Gentoo on a few different machines and as an operating
|
|
system nerd, it really ticks the boxes.</p>
|
|
<p>Many people who have used Gentoo in the past eventually say that maintaining a
|
|
Gentoo system is fun at first, but that they have different priorities and want
|
|
an 'OS' that just 'works'.</p>
|
|
<p>Knowing everything about a system is part of the joy of Gentoo. Think of it not
|
|
as a distributioin, but more as a distribution kit. You get to make your own
|
|
distro.</p>
|
|
<p>Aside from that, I used to run Raspbian on my Pi's but now run Gentoo on that
|
|
too.</p>
|
|
<p>Here are the things I can do in Gentoo:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Connect to my work vpn</li>
|
|
<li>RDP to work machines</li>
|
|
<li>Use Citrix Receiever to connect to our Citrix environment</li>
|
|
<li>Use Snaps, to run the latest userland software (like teams for linux)</li>
|
|
<li>Compile the latest ffmpeg to use new <a href="converting-vhs-and-dv-to-modern-formats---part-1.html">video encoding tools</a></li>
|
|
<li>Contribute in the form of ebuilds e.g.
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/zigford/snapd">snapd</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For what I do with the raspberry pi, check out my <a href="raspberry-pi.html">raspberry pi post</a></p>
