It ran even better when I tried using Lubuntu (it doesn't have a lot of resources). I have enjoyed using, learning about, and tinkering with Ubuntu and Lubuntu ever since. Ubuntu and Lubuntu are my preferred GNU/Linux distributions. I use Ubuntu for general-purpose computing and as a home server. I use Lubuntu on that (aforementioned) old laptop, which also doubles as a streaming video player to an old CRT TV. == Involvement == {*} Helping [[https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa|Lubuntu QA]] team with bug management and testing {*} Member of [[http://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam|Ubuntu Ohio LoCo]] since 2012 {*} Member of the [[http://www.meetup.com/Akron-Linux-Users-Group/|Akron Linux Users Group]] - I attend when I can, but I live an hour away, so I don't always make it. {*} [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Get%20Involved/WhoWeAre#Lubuntu_Users|Lubuntu User]] == Contributions == === Ask Ubuntu === I have started responding to questions on [[http://www.askubuntu.com|Ask Ubuntu]] if I know the answer after hearing Jorge Castro present on "How to Make the Most of Ask Ubuntu" at the Ohio Linux Fest in September 2013. [[http://askubuntu.com/users/103537/drkokandy|See my profile/answers here]]. === Lubuntu QA === In January 2015, I joined the Lubuntu QA team, and I've been told that what is most needed right now is bug triage, so I will be trying my hand at that. Please let me know if I am doing things in a sub-optimal way and I will make corrections. I've also been helping a little with [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing|Lubuntu Testing]] - specifically, [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO|ISO Testing]]. I've reported or triaged [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/~drkokandy|these bugs]] while working with the Lubuntu QA team. == Future Goals == {*} Earn UbuntuBugControl Status so that I can be of more help to Lubuntu QA by marking importance of bugs and marking them as triaged. {*} Test milestone ISO releases of Lubuntu for the upcoming 15.04 release. == Comments == '''Note:''' This section is for people who aren't Ubuntu members to cheer or comments that aren't testimonials from existing members. == Testimonials == '''Note:''' This section is for existing Ubuntu members to leave testimonials.
