Very Basic of any Operating System

There are five basic of any Operating System.

First is the Booting Environment.

Second Is the Fire Wall Protection

The Third is Service or Software Environment.

Fourth is the Tasks Environment.

Fifth s the User Environment.

The Booting Environment is the basic OEM or the Equipment part which can be small like a cellphone but may be a cloud of computer network.

The firewall is the basic protection against the malecious intrusion or evesdropping.

The Service Environment is the minimum  Operating System and Utilities or Software that runs on the hardware and connect them into a seamless Physical or Virtual Environment.

The Software Environment is the multitude of functional utilities that do some real work on top of the basic platform.

The Environment that perform some simple or complex Tasks is the next level.

The most complicated environment is the User Environment that start with one or millions individuals from different linguistic  backgrounds.

Every.language has to cope with 25 English letters and F-1 to F-12 function keys and other input keys of the keyboard.

But the biggest Conflict Zone is the Booting  Zone where UEFI wants to rule.

This was not a problem with original BIOS.

Called sensible Basic Input Output System.

It is Input from the Keyboard and Mouse and output prom a dumb (before graphic cards were in place) or video terminal.

Now the Operating System has to be very simple depending on the equipment.

Android Operating System is very basic whereas computers with much horse power need more robust systems.

Depending on the human needs it is the software system that adds value to.the system.

Coming to the desktop needs are very simple.

Browser.

Email facility for communication.

Legible Language to communicate.

Basic Office utilities like word processor and financial or mathematical formats.

Visual or Virtual Desktop.

Mouse and the keyboard for inputs.

The computer environment at basic level should not be complicated.
Unlike the old days with mathematical geniuses running them.but now ordinary peoples are using them.

The cellphone is a minicomputer.

Using it for talking or calling or video conferencing is an absolute waste of millions of hours of developers day and night sweat and work output.

It is much more robust and useful piece of equipment and when it is overused, it becomes a nuisance.

It already is with iPhones and Google Pixel.

Do not buy them.for show off but buy some beer or wine and enjoy life now that lockdowns are easing (not in Ceylon).

Be mindful when using technologies like Apple iPods, Googles Pixel.devices and Androids who are constantly evesdropping every fraction of a second.

Is it worth the sum total?

Or ones individual sanctity?

That is the very reason I am out of here by Mid July.

TRUE OS has done the Job

After three weeks of struggling I got my UEFI strangled Laptop to boot True OS without internet connection.

I have over 400 hundred (books of course 4000) CD and DVDs with Linux distributions but fishing out a bootable BSD DVD was difficult.

I have used BSD to erase Windows Boot's Strapping but never installed it on my PC.

For three reasons, it is destructive, it does not dual boot and has limited software at boot time.

Only 23 of large tank files.

Furthermore, it's file system is ZFS and dedicated to BSD.

Mind you True OS is BSD derivative.

It's  booting is like Linux but very specific and not at all flexible like Linux and one missing file or a wrongly configured file makes it to stop installing.

I have figured it out a few years ago, how to boot it from the Laptop and now I have forgotten, the boot time specifics.and BSD logics and logistics.

It prefers, I believe a FAT 16 file system.at the head of the SATA disk not GPT.

I may be wrong but only thing I did differently today was deleting all the partitions and having at the head 4000 MB FAT 16 partition(not FAT 32, in other words DOS).

It was a double whammy since Windows hidden boot script could not figure out how  to block BSD boot DVD.

Mind you, I do not have the password installed by Singapore OEM guy to change the booting option which is a a very simple thing.

Do not be paranoid to have a boot password.

If you do please give up being a computer administrator and become a priest.

I had made this DVD in 2017 and all DVDs of 2018 and 2019 found shy of UEFI and won't  try erasing, it at installation.

I think both Linux and BSD Developers  should get out of the mentality that "MacOS and Windows rule the World Paranoia" or poor psychology.

For over 15 years they do not exist in my sphere of influence.

To me they do not exist or even if they exist I do not care like others.

I am a totally FREE guy and nobody could boss me even at cadetting camp in Diyathalawa from the age of 16.

Mind you Endless OS did erase everything and I knew it could be done by BSD but finding the correct DVD was my problem.

I had few Other DVDs with TrueOS but they all failed.

I have run short of DVDs to make a few more copies of the 2017 DVD.

TrueOS configures a USB at  install time with all configurations  of your laptop or PC and please do not forget to have a USB at install time.

By the way, its desktop Lumina is beautiful and elegant.

I gave up cadetting after one visit there.

The bread the gave us for breakfast probably came from hell.

Now there, a supposed to be a Linux Guy who speaks good about the UEFI and there is nothing good about it, and is simply a pain in the ARxx.

The long article takes and hour to read ( I am good at reading.any rubbish but won't even remember five words of what he wrote) BUT if one cannot put it in five minutes it not worth reading it.

It is called  "In a nutshell".

Billions of years of evolution is in the seeds of the grass,too.

A computer should be like a lawnmower  in.your garden.
