James North started using Linux on the desktop in 2020, primarily out of curiosity. The technology was starkly different to the Microsoft Windows system James was familiar with, but so was the culture and philosophy. Somewhere along the way, it became about far more than just Linux. You can't learn much about Linux without also learning a lot about computing and free software in general.

5 years later, James is still using Linux on the desktop.

James is the resident system administrator and lead UI designer at Evolvepreneur. All the servers, as you would expect, run on Linux.

James maintains a weblog at jamesnorth.net

James hosts a wiki about visual novels at wiki.vncompat.org

James' free software tools, including mkshousetsu and feedhook, can be found in several places:

• Codeberg: codeberg.org/gnuisance
