Tech conference season is here & for the #FOSS community, Europe is the place to be with amazing events.
I'm excited to announce that I will be speaking at #openSUSEConf 2025. To make the trip from Africa & attend in person, I need your support to cover travel costs. Please consider donating:

This is not how I was expecting my Sunday night to turn out. #OpenBSD 7.7 disc burned but refused to boot. My laptop was having issues reading the disc so I burned another copy. Same thing....

So, what's next on the list to be installed? #OpenIndiana - cool. Also haven't used this one in years. LiveCD boots into the #mate desktop just fine. It's missing some key drivers though. I will spend more time with it later. I just need a working laptop for now.

Let's go with #FreeBSD14. Always a good choice and I just used this disc on another machine recently. But tonight the laptop is not recognizing it and the laptop just boots to the memtest. Hmmm...

OK, let's try the #openSUSE Leap 16 beta again. Same problem as before. It installs but the OS doesn't boot. I don't even get the "GRUB Booting..." message. Wonderful.

Last on the list is #Debian 12. The installer is chugging along happily and I've just realized it's been several hours, I've forgotten to prep dinner, and I am starving.

Whoops!

It's now 21:41, I am mostly done with my coffee and about to crank on the grill. This laptop can wait.
