RE: Welcome to my SteemIt Blog

Ubuntu:

I'm still using Ubuntu Mate 16.04. But you know that they come out with updated versions of the different operating systems each year in April. So, I'm contemplating trying out different OSes again. Every few years I do that. I was using normal Ubuntu since like 2007.

Unity

But switched to Mate around like 2016 after I got tired of the Unity UI. Oh, years ago, I think my brother had that Commodore keyboard video game computer console thing as seen in your photo above or something that looked almost identical to it, assuming there were different ones that looked similar to that. That picture says Commadore VIC. I will have to Google that to see.

Tablets

Is Ubuntu not working very well on tablets? That is too bad then. I'm no expert, but I should buy a tablet someday and experiment in order to figure out what might work best on a tablet. I just use my laptop, generally, so I wouldn't know.

React

When you say React, are you talking about an OS? If so, then it sounds like it has a limitation then.

Web Designer

I have done web design and I know how to Google to find code, but I don't know a lot of code personally like you do. I am more a writer than a coder. I mean, I just like to write. But some years ago, I was working with a friend on a Facebook competitor website called Mea Omnia. After like a year, we kind of gave up on that project. But that was before I knew about Steemit which is somewhat similar to what we were trying to build. So, I have experience in building websites. I know that it is a lot of work.

Nice to meet you, @joeyarnoldvn.

Commodore VIC-20 had a big brother - Commodore 64, but my pocket money didn´t reach that far :-)
It had a little RAM and instead of disk it had a tape recorder.
Around the same time the first PC's came out, but they were terribly expensive.

Also Elon Musk and Linus Thorvalds started out on VIC-20.
It is increadible how far such people can get in life, when they put as much effort into what they do.

But at least we are trying. You, too I see. That is a nice ambition you had there - to compete with Facebook.

React is one of the top javascript web frameworks.

With tablet I mean a PC with tablet features - you can fold the keyboard under the screen. The PC should then deactivate the screen and mousepad, so you will then use touch screen and onscreen key board. A few other features are also needed like auto rotate screen when you turn it in portrait. The PC is born with these features in Windows, but only some of them I can find in Linux.
Too bad, since when you deploy to cloud you will in many cases run on Linux and then it is convenient also to have it on your develper box.

Thanks for the chat, joeyarnoldvn. See you around

Did you say that the Commodore 64 had a literal tape recorder or do you mean something similar to a tape recorder? That is interesting. A little RAM but probably a lot at that time for many people. I didn't know that Linus and Elon would have things in common lol. You said that React is a javascript web framework. I know Java is a type of web code like HTML. Not to say they are the same. But what does framework mean? Does that mean React is a type of javascript? I have a laptop that is like that tablet you described. You can fold the laptop around. It is touch screen. On screen keyboard. So, there were some Ubuntu operating systems that were attempting to work with touch screens. I don't remember how successful they were.
