I've been visiting Linux.org for a while now but never introduced myself. I figured I probably aught to do that. My name is Carl, 52. I live in Chicago now, but I've lived in MI, FL, OK and TX, US. Career-wise most of it was Windows Server support. I"m not doing Linux server deployment engineering.
I've been with my second wife for the past 19 years. I have 2 grown kids and 2 highschoolers. The 2 grown kids have kids each, same sex as parent, so my Son had 3 boys (one more in the oven, don't know the sex) and my Daughter had 3 girls. And my dog, she's a brindle boxer, pit, lab mix, 9 years old.
I've been using Linux since Fedora Core 7 (2007). I've distro jumped many times. But I always favor KDE for the desktop experience. I like Enlightenment but it's a bit lacking in my experience. Over the years I haven't contributed to Linux much. Mostly just ask for help. So I decided I should change that and try to help others as much as I can. When I started visiting Linux.org I found that I really liked some of the people who where answering questions and liked the format of the forum itself. I like that it doesn't cater to one thing or another (i.e. Ubuntu forums cater to Ubuntu and stick us Neon users in a corner at the back of the room).
My personal likes are Linux, gaming, rollerblading but I don't get to do that much anymore, weightlifting but I've been very lazy about that for the past 5 months or so, Keto - I've lost over 35 lbs in the past 5 months without going to the gym, cars specifically Dodge Chargers, I've had 5 over the years.
My browser of choice is Firefox. I've been using it exclusively away from work since .5. I hate pretty much anything related to Google. For all computing away from the desktop (phone, tablet, TV) I use Apple exclusively. I'd love to have a Linux phone, but I'm not going with a company that's going to track every where I go virtually and physically. Not to mention all the malware that comes with using it.
Did I leave anything out?
