And Linux isn’t minimal effort. It’s an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

That’s why I’d love to see more developers take another look at Linux. Such that they may develop better proficiency in the basic katas of the internet. Such that they aren’t scared to connect a computer to the internet without the cover of a cloud.

    My drive was brand new when the issue started. I don’t think SMART showed anything wrong with it, apart maybe from the improper shutdowns count.

    Not sure if it was Linux only, I never had Windows installed on that drive.
