If civilization collapses and you live on your own, you will not have much data to store, organize, etc. Therefore a computer won't be that useful to you.
What will be a priority to you will be to survive, which essentially means how to get drinking water and nutrition, as well as territorial control and self defense.
A computer will be useful to you if you become a ruler that is responsible for the census, taxation, etc.
- bluescrn 3y agoHaving a large collection of offline reference books, maps, and music/movies for entertainment would still be desirable for those who can find a way to power/charge a device. Rather than building a 'collapse OS', maybe just hoard some reference material, and have a plan (and multiple backup plans) for powering/charging devices in the absense of a power grid or fuel for generators/vehicles. I don't think anyone's going to be doing much coding in a post-collapse world, let alone tinkering with the internals of an OS
- 29athrowaway 3y agoMaps will be useful but after EMPs and nuclear winter, consuming maps on a powered device will be impractical. Paper maps will be far more practical. First targets going down in a global war will be GPS, Galileo, Glonass, etc. so all those systems will go offline right away. All power will go to water pumps, heating, air conditioning, mining, etc.
- notanothereric 3y agore: maps — I accumulated a lot if regional and national maps ( thank you AAA!!) but they do go out of date. Major challenge with prepping is uninterrupted vigilance maintaining your supplies… which likely is an Amazon marketplace business in and of itself… lol.
