As one of the inaugural members of the York LUG... - I'm sad it went dormant - But overjoyed that that's because Linux became so mainstream that it became unneccessary - Still using Linux as my primary platform, daily - ... no longer using Slack, though - Don't play games much on it - But I can get everything I want to play on Linux, which is awesome - Consoles are so much easier, though - I'm sad to see YULG ML go, although empirically it was already gone - But I'm super glad to hear from some folks again - I was a Linux admin professionally for 10 years - Then stopped for a few to do what I really wanted - Now am doing some Linux admin as a side gig beside my main job
