Enjoying Open Source Software

Using open source software is a great experience.

Open source software gives the user a lot of freedom to achieve amazing things.

I love open source operating systems and use on a daily basis:

• FreeBSD
• OpenBSD
• Linux

Variety of hardware

I use a variety of hardware, both real laptops and PC's as well as all kind of small boards, like the Rapsberry Pi, Beaglebone Black and Odroid boards.

Plain text is beautiful

I prefer to work in plain text. Almost everything I write, I write in plain text, mostly in org-mode or Markdown(-ish) format.

This website contains my blogposts, but I publish more often on Gopher! See gopher://box.matto.nl

Don't know what Gopher is, or how to get started ? See my Small Gopher HOW-TO.

I prefer applications with a TUI, a text-based user interface.
