OSE Developer Test Thoughts

OSE Linux Thoughts

• Creating the Live USB from ISO is easy and straight forward
  • Had a unused 8 GB USB laying around
  • Used Startup Disk Creator on Ubuntu 18.04
  • Had some difficulty finding the correct download link for the latest version of ISO
• Had difficulties booting from USB even after changing boot order
  • Maybe related to dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu
  • Found help on Ask Ubuntu: Is there a way to boot from usb through grub menu?
    • Solution was to manually enter a series of commands in GRUB menu
    • This made using OSE Linux painful as every time I boot I have to enter in a series of manual commands
• No pre-installed Chrome extensions makes a lot tasks difficult
  • No password manager makes logging into various critical websites difficult:
    • YouTube to listen to music while I work
    • The Open Source Ecology Wiki
      • To jot down notes or save files
    • GitHub
      • To save work
      • To contribute to or debug open source projects like FreeCAD workbenches
• No SSH key created so I can't easily authenticate and work out of GitHub
• No code editor setup how I like
  • Visual Studio Code
    • Various extensions like Python support
    • Preferred theme and font
• Severely out of date software
  • FreeCAD 16 (released April 2016)
    • Out of date workbenches
    • No AddOn Manager
