About the Introductions category

Hello Ubuntu Discourse,

I am Jihun Park, nice to meet you all. To be honest, I am not very acquainted with Linux yet, so I am reading books and trying things out…

By the way, I just found out that my previous account (phunji-ark) was removed from the site. Was it due to low activity? (I used it only for asking questions on a specific topic.) Because it was gone without explanation, I’d be happy to know the reason so it doesn’t happen again.

Anyways, glad to be on this Ubuntu journey. Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi and welcome (back) to Ubuntu Discourse :slight_smile:

Do you recall when the original account was created and how long it was inactive?

I was engaging in FAQ: Ubuntu 25.04 on Snapdragon X Elite early this August, and my account was also created at that time. Yesterday was my first login attempt in at least two weeks (which had been unsuccessful.)

Hello, discourse had an issue that is still being investigated but we lost 2 weeks of data so this is most likely what happened to your account, we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for confirming! No problem for me, as I remember the conversations; hope the site can recover the lost data.

Howdy, my name is Chris Bruns- I have used Ubuntu in the past, but I have had a renewed interest in Linux to where I found the technical author position and applied. I’ve mostly used this forum in the past without an account, but I now want to be more involved!

Welcome to discourse we are glad you are here and we look forward to your contributions.

Hello Ubuntu Discourse community, I am Richard. Built a new machine this year for home and finally back in Ubuntu after a fifteen or so year absence. Looking forward to settling in for the long haul this time around.

Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse :slight_smile:

Good luck with the new computer and of course the return to Ubuntu.

Feel free to ask for assistance in the Support and Help category if needs be.

On Kubuntu / Ubuntu since 7.04. I don’t use the forums as much as I did back then and I am just transitioning to Discourse. I see the community is as helpful as ever.

Great to have you here.

Hi, I’ve been using Ubuntu as my main driver since April. I really like the control and speed of the system after using Windows for 30 years.

Hi everyone! I’m Kingsley Muturi, a UI-UX Front-End Engineer based in Kenya. I’m thrilled to join the Ubuntu community and explore how I can contribute, especially after applying for a Web Developer role at Canonical. With about three years of experience, I’ve worked on modern web applications using React(Typescript) and tailwind, recently rebuilding a company website and admin portal at The International Scholars Program. I’ve also dabbled in Angular, Django and PHP. I’m really passionate about creating user-centric interfaces that solve real-world problems.
I’m new to open-source contributions but eager to learn, and I’ve set up accounts here, on Charmhub and Snapcraft forums to get involved. I’d love to hear from experienced contributors about where to start with Ubuntu, maybe something related to web development or UI improvements?
Looking forward to connecting and being part of this amazing community!
