Hello, I'm dungdinhmanh 👋 ​

Welcome to my corner of the internet! Let me tell you a bit about myself through this casual interview-style introduction.

Q: Who are you and what do you do? ​

A: I'm a tech enthusiast from Vietnam who's passionate about learning through hands-on projects. While I wouldn't call myself a seasoned developer yet, I love diving into different technologies - from Python and web development to Linux system administration. I learn by building things that interest me, often with help from the amazing developer community and modern tools.

Q: What's your current main project? ​

A: I'm currently developing KivotOS - a Linux distribution that brings the world of Blue Archive to your desktop experience. It's essentially "Linux meets Blue Archive" with Arona/Plana as your system assistant!

What is KivotOS?

KivotOS is more than just a themed Linux distro - it's about making the computing experience more engaging and fun while maintaining all the power and flexibility that Linux users love.

Q: How did you get into programming? ​

A: I started out of curiosity about how things work under the hood. I'm still on my learning journey - picking up bits of Python, web technologies, C++, and system administration as I go. I believe in learning by doing, even if it means making mistakes and relying on documentation, communities, and yes, AI assistance along the way.

Q: What technologies do you work with? ​

A: My toolkit includes:

bash
# What I'm Learning
- Linux system administration & package management
- Shell scripting & automation
- Python basics for various tasks

# Web Technologies  
- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals
- Vue.js & VitePress (like this blog!)
- Static site generation

# Tools & Platforms
- Git & GitHub workflows
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD
- Various Linux distributions

Q: What inspires your work? ​

A: I believe in making technology more fun with anime aesthetics! There's something magical about combining the efficiency of open-source software with the charm and personality of anime culture.

Philosophy

"Why should software be boring when it can be both powerful AND delightful?"

Q: What's next for you? ​

A:

  • 🚀 Continuing development of KivotOS
  • 📝 Sharing more development insights on this blog
  • 🤝 Building a community around anime-themed computing
  • 💡 Exploring new ways to integrate AI assistants into desktop environments
