Hello 👋 I'm Martin (also known as Wimpy), a long-time Linux user, developer & community builder 🐧 Maker 🪛 Linux Matters host 🎙️ Occasional game jam participant and aspiring game developer using pico-8, LÖVE, and Defold 🕹️

I lead Ubuntu MATE 🧉 and I'm the creator of a bunch of other projects and Quickemu 🧑‍💻

We have a modest Discord server for Wimpy's World 💬 which serves as a community hub. We're a friendly bunch, and all are welcome 🏳️‍🌈 Join us!

Discord

I steam live-coding on Twitch 📡 and those streams are archived on YouTube 📺️

These awesome people sponsor me: mmartial castrojo Thank you! ❤️ If you appreciate my work, then please consider sponsoring me too 🤑 Curious what I've been working on recently?
