About Me

I'm Rudra Saraswat. I study in Grade 6 of Delhi Public School, RK Puram, New Delhi, India. I’m a Linux enthusiast and passionate about Open Source.

I've been active on Ubuntu Discourse (Ubuntu Community Hub) since July 2019. I like to develop Linux distributions, either from scratch or based on distributions like Debian and Ubuntu. I created Ubuntu Unity Remix in May 2020, and have been maintaining the project ever since. The project now has substantial following and has received very good reviews. I'm on the Unity7 Maintainers team and have created a debugging tool for it (called Devunity). I also created UbuntuEd Remix, an educational spin of Ubuntu for students ranging from pre-school to university level. This aims to fill the gap left by the discontinued Edubuntu distribution.

I like to develop operating systems in C and Assembly. I’m an Android App Developer as well (native Java & XML), and love scripting and coding in C# and C. I do some web development too and love video/photo editing with Kdenlive and Krita.
