Sono Veronica! Adoro Linux, l'hardware dei vecchi computer e spiegare le cose. Alcuni mi chiamano la "Mamma Linux", e per me va benissimo. Sono un'ex amministratrice di sistemi "legacy" che pubblica contenuti divertenti su cose interessanti che si possono fare con Linux, oltre a qualche curiosità tecnologica retrò che mi capita di trovare! · visibilità: nel misto della home, non in primo piano.

Linux on a Mac (it's not going back)
New year, new OS for this M1 MacBook Air! I've been using Asahi Linux (via the flagship Fedora Asahi Remix) for a few weeks now. It's been my everyday laptop and I'm really impressed with how it's held up. Battery life is amazing, and the A…

I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how.

45Drives hasn't sent me any hardware. I still think they're neat.
Let's talk about 45Drives, why I like their open source Cockpit modules, as well as their tutorials and documentation about open source projects. I think it's rare to have a corporation care this much about open source. From my outsider vie…
VimWiki: I write my notes in the terminal, like a monster
VimWiki is my preferred notetaking solution because it's intentionally minimal. When I want to take notes, I want to take notes, not see a mind map or extra visualizations or photos to distract me. I'm old school! (Or just old.) In today's…

Cloning your hard drive, the easy way (with Clonezilla)
