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.

It's stories like this that keeps me wanting to learn as much as I can. They say that once you stop learning you're done (in more than one sense). The way I see it is if someone like David's mom can learn and use a computer (let alone Linux) then everyone can keep learning something new. Your mom wanting her Linux computer back says a lot too. It works, even for someone who has no coding or tech skills.
Great article! Coming from the A/V industry into the IT realm, I have seen and heard what you are writing about. From LP-FLAC; having the right equipment that can interpret the signal, and reproduce it correctly makes a huge difference. All the pieces have to interact together perfectly or you lose out on hearing the sounds.
