Linux tinkerer who builds his own OS, drags Windows tools into the Linux daylight, and themes GNOME until it stops looking like GNOME.

• 🖥️ Maintaining DistinctionOS — Bazzite with my own unholy modifications welded on top.
• 🗡️ Bringing the Skyrim modding workflow to native Linux — archives, meshes, textures, and audio, handled by GNOME itself.
• 🎨 A wardrobe of GTK/GNOME themes, and the occasional local-AI experiment.

Patches & plugins that let stock GNOME apps handle game files natively — shipped in DistinctionOS:

• gstreamer-plugin-xwm — plays Microsoft xWMA (.xwm) game audio in any GStreamer app.
• glycin — DDS/BC7 texture decoding, so game textures thumbnail right in the file manager.
• file-roller — BSA/BA2 read and write support, inside GNOME's own archive manager.
• Rust-BSA-BA2-Handler — the Rust engine that packs & unpacks Bethesda archives (GUI + CLI) behind that integration.
• nifskope — NifSkope, Flatpak-packaged with Steam auto-detection.

Mostly I mess around with personal projects and occasionally contribute upstream.
