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 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
