Install Platform
- Spent this evening installing CentOS 7 on a Virtual Machine
- Had issues with the resolution being stuck at 800x600
- For some reason the mouse died in the VM. Hence decided to switch to a Ubuntu VM instance
- CentOS 7 is a pain to setup compared to Ubuntu 😞

Probably won't get much done today as I had Muai Thai this arvo and Have a bbq tonight.
- Though, tomorrow I'll look at spinning up a fresh Ubuntu VM as the one I'm currently seems sluggish.
- This is probably due to the various bloat I've added while doing prototype dev. In different domains i.e webdev, data analytics, machine learning, and musc personal projects. 🙃
- Also, I'll probably look at reseting my host OS (kubuntu) as I think I've done too much customisation and have probably added too much bloat and tinkering to get kubuntu to work on my xps 15 laptop,
- Perhaps I should return to windows for my host OS 😞
