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 a good following and has received good reviews as well. 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 (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.

Since the first time I've met Rudra, I'll say that he's definitely matured a lot. But I'm glad that what he did eventually and later on has became a true miracle. He later would learn and take the responsibilities of others, help others, and learn what to do and what not to do by following policies. Considering there is some stuff I never really liked about him, it doesn't matter anymore due to his change. As a young developer aswell, showing the amazingness of what can be done by anyone regardless of age is wonderful. I would say an absolute yes. I wish him well and look forward to working with him in the future. -- itzswirlz 2020-09-29 17:01:35
