hello this is my first time on lemmy ive officially migrated from reddit to lemmy to be in a foss alternative to reddit with a wonderful community and many different instances like this one ^^ i hope i make many friends here also ive been using foss software and linux for 5 years hehe
thank you im a computer and tech guy ive used the linux operating system for 5 years i do have one windows machine but dont use it as much tho i mainly use free and open source software on 7 of my computers for my daily computer work the operating system i mainly use is called linux mint its free to download and easy to install ^^
Cool, I’m a chef, proficient in excel/etc. basic computer maintenance as much as I need to continue my work, keep records, and disseminate information…but much less now since the brigade I used to run (5 outlets, 6 sous chefs, 65 cooks) has now boiled down to just my wife and I running a small BBQ joint in Spain.
nice ^^ so how long have you been into computers?
Back in early 80s played games on commodore 64 (friends) & apple, 1988 I used to break into the work computer to play “star wars” on old crt screens, and found out how to edit recipes in the database (USAF hot dog recipe became tubesteak smothered in underwear). I always figured I needed to keep up on how to work with computers & use them because the kids coming up behind me would be so far advanced…but the reality was it didn’t happen. I ended up being the chef/manager teaching other managers & young chefs how to use this tool to organize the operation. Fucking hell it was amazing.
awesome ^^ im 35 and the first time i used a computer was when i was a young kid in the early 90s mid 90s somewhere around there
