I love that show. I listen to it every weekend on WUNC (North Carolina) on TuneIn.

My first experience with Linux came as via a Redhat Enterprise Linux CD from a magazine (RHEL 7.4 about 20y ago). I came around to fully use Linux since / via Ubuntu 7.04, I thought they did a great job at the time making Linux beautiful and easy to use. I used Manjaro for a few years, I used to like the freshness of their packages, but I managed to break it several times. Nowadays, I find myself at home in Fedora both because it looks prettier and has more recent versions of apps than other options. It seems to strike the right balance. If I werenāt using Fedora rn, Iād be probably trying out NixOS.
Iām a staunch user of KDE because Gnomeās placement of buttons seems definitely weird and because GTK seems like an shaky undocumented mess so I prefer a solid QT foundation. Eventually Iād like to contribute (code, submit issues) to KDE.
By training Iām a software developer & software tester and I lately spend my time in high level platforms languages ā such as Deno/ Typescript & Python. I used to write Java and C# at some point. The worst languages IMO are Visual Basic with its variants and Perl, they look like brain farts to me. I hope Linux distros start making possible to ban Perl altogether, it has too many footguns. I love OpenSuSEās idea of a YaST control panel for everything, but IMO it has too much Ruby. That is any Ruby seems too much to me ā another platform that seems to no longer be actively developed (well not like Python anyway). Ruby seems like itās holding on but actually itās on its way out, like COBOLs and Fortran or Java.
I aspire to writing more functional code, but I havenāt reached too far with it. Maybe when I get around to build a home server with NixOS?
This is starting to look like a memory dump 
Iām sorry if I lost you
