Welcome to the Intro Series

This collection of posts serves as a roadmap to who I am, where I come from, and the core principles behind this site. Rather than starting purely with technical tutorials, this series traces the full journey—from my faith and worldview, to why digital autonomy and open-source software matter, and finally down to the specific desktop distributions and tooling I’ve landed on.

Read through in order to follow the progression, or jump directly into the topics that interest you most.

The Progression:

1. Introduction & Origins — Who I am and the purpose of building this cloud.
2. The Foundation — How faith and worldview shape my view of stewardship and technology.
3. The Big Picture — Why open source and software freedom matter for digital autonomy.
4. Desktop Linux Breakdown — How I evaluated the ecosystem and landed on my primary distributions.

Whether you're here for the tech, the philosophy, or a bit of both, this series explains the why behind everything hosted here.
