Had a little friend arrive today, Keith! So glad I was able to donate and adopt this little guy!
The Steam Deck introduced me to @kde.org and got me into Linux and thus closer to swapping over full time.
This last year has definitely brought that goal closer, and I hope this next year completes it!
