On GNU/Linux since Amiga Watchtower, using it as my primary OS since Debian Slink, been on Ubuntu ever since it fulfilled the derailed UserLinux dream.
These days I'm running Ubuntu-Gnome, but I'm considering NixOS+Guix as my primary OS, with a Debian chroot for the pieces that are missing.
You can find me on the Free social web at clacke@libranet.de.
