Around the turn of the century, a friend gave me a computer with Windows 98 on it and a floppy that would supposedly boot Linux (original RedHat 6, cli only).
Linux wouldn't boot, so I got a book called Running Linux from the local library and my friend gave me a Knoppix CD. With the aid of these, I got Linux up and running.
I was blown away by the existence of an OS that could be fixed so easily when it misbehaved. And I've never looked back.

15 years after being cancelled, pirate-themed action game Captain Blood is out now
Preservation is important for video games, but that often focuses on games that have been released. Here's a nice win for some developers though, as Captain Blood has managed to release on Steam after being cancelled in 2010.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

If you’re running both Linux (like Kali or Ubuntu) and Windows on the same machine and notice that Windows displays the wrong time after booting into Linux, you’re not alone.
It kept bugging me for years tbh 🤣.
Solution is simple - just run the following command in your Linux terminal:
sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

I wrote a book. It’s called Drystone – A Life Rebuilt.
If you like:
Non-Fiction (but make it literary)
Stone (but as metaphor too)
Feminism (but quiet and feral)
Men (but as minor characters)
Land (but not romanticised)
Motherhood (but honest)
Then congratulations, this very good book is for you.
