Thank you so much!

I am a former Ubuntu member and former open source consultant. I just travelled in America for about a year before returning to Europe.

I'm manifesting a new laptop. My laptop was stolen a few months ago by someone who befriended me to create an opportunity to steal it. I went through a tough period afterwards. I'm currently without a laptop. I can do so much more with a laptop again.

Please boost this post.
