Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell

Is this supposed to be some kind of flex? Average user age on lemmy is more than old enough for the majority of users to have been using linux pre 9-11.

am a long term open source dev and contributor…

That is a flex, kudos. I've been dreaming about contributing to an open source project for a while now.

You should, a great place to start is helping write documentation. A lot of big projects have groups that work on creating user guides and api info, some programming experience is normally required but not as much as when contributing code so it's a great way of building understanding and confidence.

After having to use Ubuntu at work for > 1 year, I find it hard to endure. But of course, maybe it was just the computers being slow, except for Debian KDE working perfectly well on them.

That's also one of my goals. I started recently with contributing to open street maps to complete the entries for my local village.
