Hey there. I'm Leo. I've been on my tech journey since about 2000, and enjoying Linux since about 2002. Did the whole dual boot song and dance til I finally had my first Linux-only laptop in 2006. Since then, I've used Windows and Mac only when I need to for games or work. In my current role as an educator, I get to teach others about Linux almost every single day, and man, what a dream come true that has been. And on this podcast, it looks like I may be able to do that even more.
You can also find me over at mintcast.org where I find myself talking even more about Linux.
