Maxim Stewart has been using FOSS for roughly 6+ years now and has loved every minute of it. FOSS has given him the freedom to explore and question how things work and as such, it has given him skills in the fields of troubleshooting, programming, and IT to improve the world one byte at a time. He has striven to share his knowledge through platforms such as Youtube, Opensource.com, and elsewhere. Furthermore, he is the maintainer of a fledgling OS called Sol-OS (NOT Solus) which aims to be lightweight and feature packed. It has also served as a means to improve his programming skills in Java, C++, Javascript, Bash, and other languages.

I like PekWM or Openbox when going minimal but keeping a panel. I tried I3 but couldn't get past the tiling setup. I'll have to play with DWM and see if I might like its layout handling. Thank you for the article!
I handle the website for my college's HR department which is kind of sys admin like. I don't have full access to the back end as it were but it is something. Still, getting my feet in the door has been relatively easy and as I continue to improve my programming and GNU/Linux skills I think it will make it easier. I will definitely need to check out LOPSA and consider joining since it is free for students!
