For a few years, I have found a deep passion for open source and Linux. As I kept learning about the importance of FOSS ecosystems, I quickly got interested in self-hosting open-source alternatives and contributing to a few projects myself. That’s also how I got involved in the development of Garuda Linux.

My most recent project was writing Ansible roles for the whole Garuda Linux and Chaotic-AUR infrastructure. I’m really happy with how it turned out! 😊

Garuda Linux is an Arch-based Linux distribution that is both beautiful and easy to use. I’m mostly maintaining the infrastructure and a few editions. You can read more about it here. 🦅

Chaotic-AUR is an Arch user repository that provides binary builds for roughly 3k packages, most of them being built hourly straight from AUR. As the lead maintainer, I’m in charge of handling the repository and coordinating work. Have a look at this page to find out more! 😁

FireDragon is a Librewolf fork that focuses on providing a smoother user experience while keeping the important privacy tweaks. It also integrates quite well with some of our self-hosted services such as searX. Wanna know more about it? 😋
