I’m Riccardo from central Europe, born in 1989, with an IT high school diploma. I work remotely as a developer for a company, and yes, I’m a full-time Linux user.
I chose to join this community because I believe that in an open-source and collaborative ecosystem, we can both contribute and learn from each other. Sharing knowledge and solving challenges together makes us all grow.
Looking forward to engaging with like-minded people, and I hope to feel at home here.
Wishing you all a great day!
We live in an age where this sort of legacy networking is so important.
Check out some of the threads in the forums. Let us know what you are currently working on and interest. Looking forward to hearing your views on the many topics.
João here, or John if you prefer. I started out with KDE 2.0, and slowly transitioned full time to Linux 8 years ago. I live in both Portugal and the US, looking to stay more in Portugal in the future.
My run a small IT consulting business, mostly catering to small businesses and in my “so called” spare time, I maintain a niche Distro, a spin of Manjaro Cinnamon.
My goal is to make people aware that Cinnamon is a most viable option as a desktop environment. It is a cleaner environment than Plasma, and more stable. It is not as rigid as Gnome, and you are not locked into a desktop that cannot be themed or configured.
I invite all linux users to try it. If you are a Debian user, look into LMDE6, it is Linux Mint sans Ubuntu.
If you are an Arch user, check out Manjaro Cinnamon or Arch with Cinnamon or my Spin, DeLinuxCo.
If you are a Fedora user, I have not tried theirs, but they do have one.
Ubuntu also has a version of Cinnamon Desktop.
Cheers
Suse also has the option to install Cinnamon during the install process.
Great to have you here as a part of our Linux Community. Your background in Linux, spanning back to KDE 2.0 and leading to maintaining a Cinnamon-based spin of Manjaro, is impressive.
It sounds like you’re bringing a lot of expertise, especially with Cinnamon as a desktop environment option for users from various distro backgrounds. I’m sure many will appreciate the insights you can share.
I look forward to seeing your contributions to the discussions here, and I’m sure your experience with niche distros will be a fantastic resource for everyone exploring new environments. Cheers, and welcome once again to our community!
I’m a Linux and Mac user, multiple flavors, currrently Ubuntu but soon to build an Arch box. Can find me at https://meta.discourse.org (we build this forum’s software ).

I also have a Laptop that runs Windows 11 but i want to migrate too. I hope to learn from all of you. Good bye and safe travels !
HI! My name is Steve and I’ve been involved with some form of tech for the past 35+ years.
I have been using Windows desktop and Windows Server software on systems and I am starting to explore Linux for desktop and server use, mainly on a personal level.
Hi,
I am a Cloud Engineer for M365 and have been working in IT for more than 20 years.
I come from and live in Germany. Privately, I have completely switched to Linux.
Now retired but still active in building systems and software. Worked 35 years as a systems & software engineer; mostly Windows but some Linux and now exclusively Linux for the last few years.
Currently running LinuxMint on all my systems but I regularly check out other distros. I just enjoy learning more about Linux and growing my knowledge.
@IronRod welcome to the community. Looking forward to hearing your perspective and thoughts on various topics. It’s becoming more difficult due to technology to have relaxed discussions with real people and nothing “instant” being involved.
@hydn Indeed. I’ve been around long enough to miss the days of actually meeting people physically in user groups, having face-to-face discussions, watching presentations, etc. It’s a different world.
