My Laptop Crapped Out So I Installed LibertyOS. Here's What Happened.

This introductory paragraph is unfortunately being provided to you by Android. God, I hate typing shit on my phone. I'm currently dealing with my bullshit Toshiba laptop taking a dump on me. Check it out!

Suck C*ck, Windows Repair

So, after much procrastination, I figure it's time to shift gears. I'm a crypto man, so I'm switching to LibertyOS. I did an article on LibertyOS awhile ago, and have been super excited to start ever since. This part is being typed on the phone of course, so I'll have to go back to the computer and edit this proper. Bear with me. This will be a post that takes several hours. You'll be going through the process with me as I go through it.

The most frustrating part is that I was balls deep into a solidity/Ethereum course and I was doing alright. Then this happened. Shit. I mean, I was learning the basics of contracts, dicking around more with Remix IDE, and some other stuff. I'm stoked about this and I cannot wait to get good at it. My token is going to BLOW YOUR MIND. Stay tuned. Shit happens.

So, How About LibertyOS?

Unfortunately, I have to wait until my laptop repairs, but apparently installing LibertyOS is retarded easy. Like, a monkey could do it. We shall see if that's the case. Of course, I can get it done pretty easy. I work with computers! I think the big indicator will be if my dumb ass has problems getting it installed.

One Hour In. Fuck it. I'm downloading the LibertyOS ISO file and burning it to a CD. Then I'm gonna boot from the CD and get the shit started. I'm frustrated. The system went into Epic Dogshit Mode and wouldnt repair. Fuuuuuuuck. This happens. But, things will get better. Hopefully.

Two and a Half Hours In. Okay, burning the CD on Grandma's computer. She's so nice. Should be done shortly. 

Three Hours In. I'm an idiot. My laptop doesnt have a CD drive. Fortunately, grandma has a plug in, so I'm solid.

Oh, About Six Hours In. God, I'm an idiot. I need to burn this to be bootable I think. I wish I had a goddamn free USB flash drive. Shit... okay, let's make this BOOTABLE and see of that makes a difference...

8 Hours In. Now I dont want to make the illusion that I've been working on this nonstop. It's been on and off. But this is time since crash so to speak. The damn burned CDs dont work. I'm thinking it has to do with the external CD drive. So, I broke down and got some USB flash drives at Wal Mart. I'm using a utility called Rufus (look it up) to create a bootable flash drive for LibertyOS. I'm sure at this point the more tech savvy among my readers is probably thinking I'm a dipshit. I'm not even gonna argue the point. That's true. Oh, and shut up. You're not helping.

9 Hours In. YES! YEEEEES! I GOT THE DAMN COMPUTER TO USB BOOT UP LIBERTYOS!!!! Now I'm going through the installation process, hopefully without a hitch. Hopefully. Knowing my luck today, maybe... no. NO. It is gonna be okay. Its GONNA BE OKAY.

Shit Quality Image.

This is the part of many parts of today's waiting game. I'm at about 20% as of this writing and so far everything is going smoothly. The big issue I see is that I'm gonna have to look up drivers for everything, which isn't a problem, just time consuming. That's okay, I'm gonna have a working computer. I'm happy for that.

DONE! I'm now typing this in my brand spanking new Chrome Browser on LibertyOS. So far, I'm really impressed with the speed, the lack of bloatware, and basically everything. After you subtract my dumbassness, this was actually really simple to install, and it took no time at all once I finally got things going.

Beautiful. Like, The Sexiest Thing I've Seen Since Going To Walmart.

In order to get things business-running again, I gotta take care of some basic features, drivers, and kinda settle in. Soon, I'm gonna do a full-on post of what I think about LibertyOS, which if my experience now is any indication, should be pretty awesome.
