Hello everyone!
My alias is TheEvilSkeleton, but you can also call me Tesk, TheEvilSkely, Skelly, Proprietary Chrome-chan or anything close to it.
I'm really excited to be part of QA! I first tried GNU/Linux 3 years ago, from Ubuntu to Manjaro, Arch, Gentoo, Pop!_OS, etc. and finally Fedora Silverblue, and I started using it as my daily OS since then.
Personally, I don't think I have much experience with Linux, since I have been using it for around three years. I do think that I have more knowledge in such topic than an average Linux user, but not as much as say, a system administrator. I try my best to learn as much as I can so I can contribute back what I've learned. I mostly contribute to documentation, since it's one of the places where free and open source software (FOSS) falls behind, but also because it's where I am very good at. I also experiment; I play around a lot with distributions, containers, VMs and more, hence me trying out many Linux distributions in the past. I often break stuff because, well, I play around things a lot and I'm very experimental.
I also have some knowledge with Flatpak. I maintain 6 Flatpak packages currently. I am currently writing an introduction to Flatpak for those that have little knowledge in Flatpak and want to learn its technical side. I've been working for around a month, and I've spent plenty of days for research, so I hope I'm going to give a very accurate and user-friendly introduction to beginners. With that knowledge, I'm going to take advantage of it to contribute to Flatpak's documentation.
On a more personal note, I'm a 19 year old "student". I'm quoting "student", since I stopped attending to classes because I couldn't concentrate anymore due to stress and heavy pressure from college because of COVID. Instead of doing nothing during the time, I decided to join QA to contribute more to FOSS and collaborating with people around the world, and be part of the Year of the Linux Desktop™. I'm a male, but you are free to use the pronoun you desire.
Thank you so much for accepting me in the project! I'm really excited for this. Fedora is very open for contributions and is transparent, which is the type of project I love.
If you want to contact me: My nick is TheEvilSkeleton at irc.freenode.chat ;My Matrix user is theevilskeleton:matrix.org . Have a nice day everyone, and thank you again for accepting me!

May I ask for your real name?
Where does this come from that people introduce themselves with pseudonyms, aliases, usernames but no real name?

If anything, I think it's a lot less common than it used to be.

When I started getting involved in Fedora in 2005, I didn't use my real name either. I started using my real name a couple of years afterward when I got comfortable with it. I've seen trends go back and forth on this over the past 15 years.

Agreed. In any case, when people show up in our community, let's welcome them, please, rather than starting off negative.

I can't speak for the original poster, but for my part I consider it a means of thwarting the ubiquitous tracking on the web. Especially by those giant vampire squids, google and facebook. Make their AI work for my data!

Hi,
Leaving aside the question of using a real name...
It is much easier to take people seriously if they have a more sensible, even if boring, name. The names you suggested might be fine in your existing situation, but imply (probably incorrectly) a lack of maturity, and some people would also find them offensive (though I'm sure that is not your intention).
Cheers, Gavin

Sorry for those that find my username offensive, and sorry that the names are a bit immature; no one pointed it out to me me before so I didn't notice, so I appreciate the feedback. May I ask which name specifically is the one that would be considered as offensive?
As for my real name, I prefer not to share it online currently. I don't feel "strong" enough to do so. However, I am planning to upload my CV on my website someday, and until then, I will use my real name. I hope it's okay, but if it's required to provide the name, then I will do so.
Hi and welcome! You may also want to take a look at the Fedora Docs team, and perhaps Fedora Magazine.
Will do. Thank you.
This is so true. I think for programmers, it isn't as much fun to write documentation. And there are always more bugs to fix, and code to write, than programmer hours, so it is human nature to let the documentation slide. And, open source changes so rapidly that documentation goes out of date quickly. May your successes be legion. :-)
Agreed, and thank you.

It nothing wrong of using pseudo name, unless you do something break the rule and law (eventually, the people with real name also did break the law and rules nowadays)....shrug
I see it as TheEvilSkeleton come to contribute and "break" the software as QA test.
I am curious guy, so I did some search... Look like TheEvilSkeleton is good writer and he/she already have experience a lot with flatplak.
Welcome to Fedora QA, take look on wiki [1]. Do you have FAS? go and get it, Fedora have interesting way of reward if you contribute, it give you badge[2]

I can personally vouch for Tesk that he did not apply to break the software.

It takes some strength to know when you need a break, and it's great you've found this to be a productive and fulfilling place to put your effort.
