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.

Great article Chris. Makes me want to redo my custom DAC.

I know what you mean. My laptop I use almost everyday was only about 2 years old when I put Mint on it. I bought it new. It was a very high dollar Lenovo Idea Pad.It was about $1000 new. But I will tell ya,; it was the best thing I did. I do have a few machines that are 5 years old or older but I try to stick around the 5 years or younger. I still get laptops and desktops that had W7 on them but the previous owner didn't want to replace the HDD or say the screen. Recycling those are fun and easy.
