I'm the Editor of FOSS Linux and a passionate blogger. With a background in Software Engineering, I decided to shift my career towards blogging and content creation. My love for Linux led me to specialize in writing about open-source software and the Linux operating system. As a Linux enthusiast, I can't imagine using anything else on my PC. I believe in the power of open-source software and the vast community that surrounds it. This is why I'm dedicated to sharing my knowledge and experience with others through FOSS Linux. Apart from my work at FOSS Linux, I also enjoy reading non-fictional books. My favorite read so far has been Sapiens, which was an eye-opening experience that helped me understand the human story from a new perspective. I hope that you find my content informative and engaging, and that it helps enhance your experience with Linux. Thank you for taking the time to read my work, and have a great day ahead!
