Enjoying Open Source Software

Using open source software is a great experience. Most open source software provides the user with a lot of possibilities to do great things. I love open soure operating systems and use on a daily basis:

• OpenBSD
• FreeBSD
• 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 the org-mode format and Markdown format. I love the Gopher and Gemini smol web and post on my Gopher burrow on a regular basis, See gopher://box.matto.nl I prefer applications with a TUI, atext-based user interface.
