Hi Community, i have debating whether or not to introduce myself for a couple of weeks and after a couple of libations i thought - sod it, its about time that I said Hi.
I've been using Linux on and off since about 1996. Never to any great degree of competence, but at least I knew it was available and I had the option
.
I'm using linux lite on a woefully underpowered HP550 laptop. It's enough for my needs though.
I recently graduated with a very obscure Masters degree in Lift (Elevator) engineering. I mention this because its actually cheaper for us to develop the control side of things using raspberry Pi these days than any other platform!
Dabble a little with Arduino too, despite having problems getting the latest version to run, lol. Well, we all need hobbies.
My background is more in control systems and mechanical engineering, but i like to dip my toe in the electrickery side of things and I am considering entering the world of HAM radio with my local group.
Have to say, that although it lacks the bells and whistles of full blown Ubuntu, i am blown away by the stability and speed of linux lite. If i ever did install on one of my faster platforms, i think that i'd still opt for this distro.
