Dru’s Linux and tech blog

Because sharing is caring…

Over my last 9+ years of experience with Linux and related Open Source projects, I realised I have relied heavily on online forums, blogs to get things done. Those has been a huge source of learning for me.

I have loved troubleshooting even before it landed me a career at Red Hat. I remember installing Fedora in my friends laptops and taking full responsibility of fixing any issue they might have faced. I consider troubleshooting an art.

I plan to share tricks and tips, that I have picked up and small tools/one liner scripts I have written or have been using to fix or troubleshoot issues.

I do not intend to make this blog as a troubleshooting guide but rather collection of different troubleshooting tips or tricks.

Disclaimer : I do have strong opinion on things, my opinions are my personal ones and in no way related to my professional affiliation.
