Hey, I'm rubbish at intros but let's give it a go huh?
I'm 48 and been making computer based music on and off since like 1990 with the Amiga (soundtracker/octamed) and later PC's.
Still using tracker based stuff, even today. I use Renoise as my DAW of choice, though nowadays I use VSTi's instead of samples generally.
It wasn't til the lockdown in 2020 that I really took the time to really get into it properly though and have since released 3 albums and 4 EP's through routenote.
I would probably describe my music as a mix of rock, electronic, crap, with a dash of 80's and industrial hahah.
Currently running OpenSuSe AEON (formally microos gnome desktop) as my platform of choice

Welcome! Wish I had an Amiga back in the day. Was it a good 'ol 500 or the 1200 race monster?
How long have you been using Linux?

Hi friend from the wet country
Our family used to have holidays in the Tregaron region when I was a kid (a very long time ago). We even had sunshine one year!

Alas not. The 500 I gave to my brother when I got the 1200 and he broke it. The 1200 I had later, can't remember what happened to it all these years later.
Do still have a 1040 Atari ste , upgraded to 4mb though lol
