As a 20-year Mac enthusiast who knew a thing or two about Hackintoshing, Marcan got me excited about Linux. The idea that someone could just say, “we can solve this difficult problem and make it work, with little external help”? That is the core of FOSS right there, and he helped so much work happen, so quickly.

Loved following his various social feeds. I was sad when he stepped away from the fediverse. I hope he comes back as just a regular hacker without this massive weight on his back.
