Am I really a victim?
"Solomon Grundy,Born on a Monday,Christened on Tuesday,Married on Wednesday,Took ill on Thursday,Grew worse on Friday,Died on Saturday,Buried on Sunday,That was the end,Of Solomon Grundy" chanted an autistic kid suffering from a dysfunctional family. I was watching "The Accountant" few weeks back, it was midnight, and I tried to go to sleep after watching but I just could not!

Daksh is an odd fellow, who strives to make sense of this high entropy world.
Welcome to The Odd Fellow. It is my attempt as a hyperactive, confused and an inherently odd personality to understand the random world around us. I will mainly talk about my learnings about life from some very smart people in the "startup" and "venture capital" world that have impacted my life in ways that I cannot even begin to describe.

    What Distro do you use?
    I used to distro-hop a lot, used archlinux with git, stable and zen kernel for years. Now I just use elementaryOS because of the simplicity and the fact that it gets my work done without much hassle.
    Plus I really like the default font and display configuration, it's very crispy.
     
    Update Nov 2020:
    I've moved on from desktop Linux in favor of WSL 2. I'm able to use all the tools I used to use on my desktop as smoothly as I can on WSL and I get the added benefit of Windows App and Games.
