As a modder, tweaker, and performance optimization enthusiast Linux is the beating heart that brings all of my devices to life. My love for open-source software began when I converted my Windows laptop to Linux many years ago, which set the stage for my adoption of Android. Witihn a month of purchasing my first Android tablet I became active on XDA, 8 months later I purchased my first Android smart phone. From the moment I set up my frst Android device I have become progressively more obsessed with mobile technology, which has become a major component of my life and source of inspiration.
