Hey there! I'm Nico - a passionate open-source lover and Linux enthusiast 🐧

I'm currently contributing as a maintainer at Garuda Linux and also serve as the main maintainer of Chaotic-AUR, both Archlinux-related projects.

Garuda Linux strives to be a beautiful and easy-to-use operating system on a rolling base, while Chaotic-AUR serves as an automated binary repository for Garuda and a lot of other Archlinux-based distributions. It takes away the constant compiling time that a lot of packages require, making them available for an easy installation with Pacman. Among the packages built are Linux TKG kernels, daily master branch builds of KDE, and all of the most used AUR software.

Also, I'm maintaining a personal fork of Librewolf called FireDragon, which focuses on better KDE integration and sane, yet privacy-friendly defaults. Since I'm also a huge fan of self-hosting and server administration, I'm providing self-hosted, open-for-everyone instances of several open-source projects like Whoogle, SearxNG or Piped via the Garuda Linux infrastructure.

If you want to support my passion by helping to sustain server costs or me buying myself a coffee to ease my time spent working on these projects, I'd be very grateful! 🤗☕
