Hi I am Dan. I am an all around geek. I am an enthusiastic about Linux and in particular Desktop Linux. I have been using computers since the early 80’s when home PCs were barely a thing. I have been using Linux full time on the main machine at home since about 2008, though I have had a Linux machine around since the late 90s early 2000s. I am currently an IT manager and focus on IT infrastructure and networking. I am a member of the Lubuntu project and have been contributing since the 18.10 release. I can often be found on Telegram, Matrix or Discord.
