I currently handle the IT support for a large local business. Although I use Windows everyday, you will find I try to use Linux and open source software anytime I can. I use Linux at home on several RPI2 devices and computers. I dabble in audio still but IoT has become a passion of mine recently. I am currently studying for The Linux Foundation System Administrator certification.

When I am not working on computers or IoT devices, you will find me outside on my family farm. Yes, you heard right. I love spending time with my wife and children on the farm. They are the reason I do what I do everyday.

You can usually find mind on LinkedIn. Send me an email any time.

I wouldn't say they are non-desktop oriented. I have installed CentOS and Red Hat with their perspective default DE on several machines I have. And TrueOS states it has a default DE called Lumina; and others can be installed.

The title was called Distro not Desktop Environment. We all use various DE with all distros alike. I have 3 different installs of Ubuntu with 3 different DE. That's the great thing about all distros.....you can have a different taste than everyone else. Just my two cents.

Sorry forgot that the main laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad z580 and the wife's is a Lenovo ThinkPad.
