Thanks for sharing this! Wow, Deepin 15 running on the NanoPi 2 is pretty impressive—always exciting to see how far open source can go, especially when paired with lightweight hardware like that. It reminds me of when I first started exploring open-source platforms not just out of interest, but as a real stepping stone into remote work.
Back then, diving into projects like these and contributing even in small ways—like fixing bugs or improving documentation—was a game-changer. I learned that being active in open source wasn’t just about code; it showed potential employers that I could work independently and collaborate async. That became a huge part of how I shaped my resume and GitHub to reflect remote-readiness.
Also, instead of sticking only to crowded platforms like LinkedIn, I found my first junior remote backend role through this site online jobs:
Remote Software Development Jobs. It had listings from smaller teams that actually appreciated passion and contribution more than polished resumes. Open source communities—and even setups like NanoPi running Deepin—really do have a way of opening doors you didn’t expect.
