A little about me
Who am I? (Batman?)
HELLU! My name is Maria Racariu and I am attempting to become a Fullstack Developer. I have been studying IT since Highschool where I started with simple web development since then I have studied C# and CMS. NOW I am trying my hand at Frontend to become a Fullstack dev. My main focus is on backend because I like writing code but I also like designing websites.
Why webdev?
I started in Highschool with general IT/Energy course because it was a wise decision future wise but also I enjoy playing games. During Highschool I went down the road of webdev and it turned out I was good at it, easy to understand and very fun. So I decided that if I am good at it and it is fun this shall become my job.
Lil bit about my hobbies
I've had many hobbies but mostly I am a gamer. I like comp games like CS2 but I also enjoy single player games. I also enjoy reading sometimes and watching series. I enjoy trying new games/hobbies, this has given me opertunities to get along with more people and have many things to talk about.

Why penguins should rule the world?
Penguins are undeniably some of the most endearing and remarkable creatures on our planet. Their uniqueness, both in appearance and behavior, sets them apart as nature's champions. With their dapper tuxedo-like plumage, penguins exude an air of sophistication and charm that captures the hearts of people around the world. Their ability to thrive in some of the harshest environments on Earth, from the freezing Antarctic to the rocky coastlines of South America, showcases their resilience and adaptability.
History of TUX
Tux the penguin is the iconic mascot of the Linux operating system, which was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. The name "Tux" is a play on the words "Torvalds" and "Unix," which Linux is based on. Tux was created by Larry Ewing in 1996 and has since become a beloved symbol of the open-source software community. Tux's image is often used in various Linux distributions, software, and promotional materials, representing the spirit of collaboration, freedom, and innovation that Linux stands for. Tux is a cheerful, chubby penguin with a friendly demeanor, and his presence is a reminder of the open and inclusive philosophy that underlies the Linux ecosystem.
Linux is best
People should consider using Linux for its cost-efficiency, open-source philosophy, stability, reliability, security, customization options, vast software ecosystem, performance, strong community support, a platform for innovation, and legal freedom, making it an attractive choice for those who value control, security, and a diverse range of software options without the constraints of proprietary systems.
