Nini and Niko will be your friends throughout your journey of operating system this semester.
Niko is a nervous, but humble cat, like bugcat Capoo. Niko works as a junior engineer at Datadog. Niko works hard developing his company’s dog tool (there are many cats and cows on Linux, but not many dogs). Niko’s favorite animal is panda (a stronger and bigger cat, he thought).
- Favorite catchphrase: “Le Mao!”
- Favorite tools on Linux:
cowsaywith Capoo,yes - Favorite food: Katsudon
