About

This site is a collection of thoughts and notes about Linux and free/open source (both the software and the concept) from the keyboard of writer and open source enthusiast Scott Nesbitt.

The posts that you read here look at both Linux and open source from the perspective of someone with few (if any) technical skills. I’m not interested in compiling my own kernel, in deploying containers, in coding or scripting, or anything like that. I want to show that anyone, and not just the specialist, can use Linux and open source software for work and in their daily lives.
