Welcome. Great to have all these new members.
Hi all. I'm Steve, call sign 'Marmot31'. Been using Unix and Linux since the early 70s.
Never have liked any others. I'm a writer now that I have retired not only from the navy
but engineering in general. Love you guys that never gave into the temptations of the
'Engulf and Devour' types of our world. Still use the tools, though most are geared
toward writing my online scifi books nowadays and not admin anymore. Take care.

Hi Steve @superuser1955
Welcome to the community. Have a look around looking forward to sharing and learning with you.
Hi there, I am Shortie and I have been using Linux since around 2019 but I was aware of the OS before that. I have been using Linux on my older laptop for quite a few years and I am surprised at how well it runs and how easy it is to use.
I am looking forward to learning more about Linux and hopefully helping others too!

One of the advantages of using Linux for programming is that it’s an open-source operating system, meaning you can alter its source code to your specifications. This enables you to optimize it for your particular workflow and personalize your development environment. The fact that Linux is compatible with a large number of programming languages is another fantastic feature.
I am looking forward to learning a lot from this group and the project we are prototyping to become a reality.

Hey @Carson20t , welcome aboard! It’s wonderful that you’re diving into improving your programming and cybersecurity skills.
You’re right on point about Linux’s benefits; its open-source nature and compatibility with numerous programming languages make it a solid choice for developers.
If you’ve got the passion, you’re more than halfway there. Looking forward to seeing your prototype take shape and hearing about your journey. Dive into the discussions, ask questions, and share your progress. We’re all here to support each other!

Hello I’m Bill from Urbana IL, I’ve been using Linux for about 10 years. Starting with Mint then MX and then fooling with Zorin.
I like ease of use plus free for my small business, also works well on older machines.
Most recently l have been building a few machines just for fun in retirement. So, I am now trying to learn what I should have at the start. But I am also, using numerous distros, Mint, MX, Zorin PRO, Sparky, Ubuntu Studio, Big Linux, Just having some Fun!

This resonates with me. I probably won’t retire in a while but when I do, I want to be busy busy busy. Invested in the things I enjoy doing… Linux, switching and routing, hardware, etc.

Cruise Industry IT sounds amazing. Tech-work while traveling to exotic destinations. Do your itineraries take you to Caribbean islands at all?
Welcome to the community! @edong
Hi Hydn,
Yes, Caribbean is just one of the destination we go. We are currently doing Alaska, later in few months will go to Hawaii and down to Australia and New Zealand. You should see Asia…
Thank you for Welcoming me to the community…

I wanted to be with a community with great minds, my hobby is reading and wanted to learn more. I have been in the industry since 1989, I am old (50+) but I have focus on hardware ever since. I started with the cruise industry back in 2008, there I began enhancing my skills in OS, Software and Virtual Machines, but got focus mainly with MS. In 2011, I began my journey with Linux, but mainly on Workstation only, though our company have Linux Servers, my access in only thru Services. Now I wanted to expand and learn more. I hope that I can achieve with the help of our community.

Welcome everyone! Signups have been fully re-enabled, and our community is now featured more prominently via the linuxblog.io. If you are new to our forums, you can introduce yourself by replying to this thread.
I am complete rookie at Linux but have been forced to learn about it because every piece of electronic technology has been taken over by an unknown group for unknown reasons and I’m hoping I can some how get to a level of understanding “why?”
