 Linux is my favorite thing, it was and is my favorite thing to use. I use it on most of my computers, if not all my computers that I have. I think my first distro was a Boon 2 12.04 that I tried out in VirtualBox. It was a school project, I decided to send a letter to Linus Torvalds, he was my hero. At that time, in February 2014, I just wrote that letter to get a letter back. I didn't know that I was going to be part of something much greater and I actually think that that letter pretty much jump-started me to where I am today. Four years ago, I got to experience my first time going to a Linux event and actually being recognized. Meeting Linus Torvalds for the first time was amazing and meeting him today even, I think was also a great experience, I even sat next to him for the keynote. What I've gotten out of these events truly is the fact that I get to meet all these great people who work in IT, I really get to be a part of a revolution. It's been such great confirmation that yes, this IT system administration development, this is the type of stuff that I want to get into when I'm older. Linux is a platform for people that want to not just use the computer, but participate in a culture. A culture that appreciates computers, a culture that appreciates freedom, it's the perfect software to be able to contribute to in order to change the world. That's the beauty of it and it's the beauty of open source and I think that we are the future.
