 My mother in law is 81. She's half deaf and her eyesight is getting worse and worse. She couldn't properly use her old Windows XP computer anymore. So, I took Xubuntu, stripped it down to the bear necessities for her (mail, internet, solitaire), and one task bar button (shutdown),  and made the icons and font as large as is possible and still usable, and tried to make it look like her XP-theme. I even found that it was possible to make the scroll bar in the windows really wide. My mother in law is 81. She's half deaf and her eyesight is getting worse and worse.

 I started my computing days in 1986 with my first computer, an Apple IIe. From there I went on to use an IBM XT system with DOS. Then later I used GeoWorks Ensemble and then Windows 3.1 through Windows XP. From 2004 to 2015 I used a Mac and Apple's OS X. I use Windows 7 but only for work on my employer's laptop. I started my computing days in 1986 with my first computer, an Apple IIe. From there I went on to use an IBM XT system with DOS.

 I started my Linux journey about 12 years ago by using Ubuntu and used Ubuntu for quite a while until I came across a variant called Xubuntu and I immediately fell for this distro. I have created many awesome moments with Xubuntu it gets out of my way and lets me get all my everyday tasks done and done right. I follow Xubuntu and some of its team members just so I can keep up to date with all that is new and upcoming. I run a computer business and I always recommend Xubuntu to all of my customers no matter if they have super extreme hardware, I always tell them that it is the operating system that just lets you get things done. I started my Linux journey about 12 years ago by using Ubuntu and used Ubuntu for quite a while until I came across a variant called Xubuntu and I immediately fell for this distro.

 We run a small business, mainly doing computer service and maintenance, app programming and other similar things. One of the things we do are customized Linux desktops, where we build a user interface based around a customers wishes; tweaking everything from themes, colors and fonts to panels, widgets and other content. When we started doing this we tried out and evaluated loads of distributions and desktop environments, eventually deciding that Xubuntu was the perfect choice. We wanted to maximize the amount of customization we could do while still having a system that was light on resources (since customers often have old computers.) We run a small business, mainly doing computer service and maintenance, app programming and other similar things.

 +After seeing a simple metal cookie cutter created by the Xubuntu Marketing lead, Keith was inspired to make a plastic 3D-printed version of the Xubuntu cookie cutter. He printed several of them and also shared the design on Thingiverse so others could also print it.
