<div>I'm still using Linux for
professional work (less now than
a few years ago when I was
getting my hands dirty often),
managed VMs and layers of

hosted Linux VM for a collection
of personal projects. With most
services being cloud based, OS
on the personal computer has
become less and less relevant. </div>

<p>Yeah. Well, Linux is so
much easier now than
back when we had install
days :-)</p>
<p>Still using Linux
pretty much everywhere
at home and work, and on
so many devices too.
Though at the moment I'm

<p>Agree with Steam

I'm able to play AAA

They have done an
amazing job. :-)</p>

Been somewhat

While trawling one

notice KLUG <br>
hits 20 years old on
this mailing list
system in November.
Of course it <br>
is older than that
as I previously ran
the mailing list one
another <br>

Wow, where has that
time gone and how
different Linux has
become.<br>

Anyway, back to the
