Hi, i’ve been here (in this forum) for a while, long enough to get kind of a feel for things. And what i’ve read here gives me the idea that what folks are mostly doing with Ubuntu-MATE is asking how to get this or that working properly.
Okay, so once you get everything working properly, what are you going to actually do with it?
I’m trying to use it to build software. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and segmented-storage was a new idea, things were simpler. There were a few instructions, like 8 on the PDP-11. And they all worked with bytes. Sometimes words, sometimes just bytes. Assembler language was basically all there was, and OMG it was so much simpler than things are today. Call it nostalgia, call it failure-to-adapt, call it senile-dementia, but i want to write simple code again, so i can actually get things done with the code i’m writing, instead of continually adding all the syntactic fluff that languages like C or C++ require just to give you permission do twiddle some bytes. So i’m building a simple machine architecture, that i hope to use to do some fun stuff.
But hey, my idea of “fun” is probably demented, what are you doing with Ubuntu-MATE?
