Working on / advocating Linux & FOSS since 92. Always looking for small projects to help with project mgmt & promotion. At the same time, people should use what works for them. Only thing I hate, is hate!

Also love to play Path of Exile and other ARPGs.
Had to try Solseek with Cool Retro Term. Wasn't sure how it would do. Not bad, lol.

Flatpak had been in a bit of a lull in development, but anyone who has worked in dev understands that can happen. While I still prefer native 1st, there is no doubt that systems like Flatpak are a big part of the Linux desktop now, like it or not. #Linux #FOSS
