                                About

(1) Introduction

    Hi! My name is Pranav Chiploonkar, and I also go by Prae. I'm a
    22-year-old senior at the University of Arizona.

    I started off majoring in Physics, then switched to Astronomy, and
    now I'm in Cyber Operations, with minors in Physics and Math. Lots
    of changes there for sure.

    I love computers, cryptography, open source software, and all the
    other things that come with the territory.

    I really enjoy open world RPGs - especially those that allow a lot
    of freedom in what you can do in the game world. Some of my
    favorites are:

        (a) Baldur's Gate 3
        (b) EVE Online
        (c) Cyberpunk 2077
        (d) Elite Dangerous
        (e) Satisfactory

    And the list goes on...

(2) Computing

    Since 2022, I have exclusively used Linux, but Windows 7 will always
    be my favorite operating system of all time. Come at me, penguins...

    Here is my primary desktop; my pride and joy:

        pranavchip@candypaint
        
        Model : Dell G7 15 7500
        OS    : CachyOS x86-64
        Kernel: Linux 7.1.3-2-cachyos
        Sched : scx_bpfland
        DE/WM : GNOME 50.3 / Mutter (Wayland)
        CPU   : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H
        RAM   : 2x 8 GB SODIMM DDR4
        GPU   : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile
        VRAM  : 6 GB GDDR6
        MON1  : ASUS TUF Gaming    24" (VG259QM   ) (1920x1080) @ 240 Hz
        MON2  : Samsung Odyssey G4 27" (S27BG402EN) (1920x1080) @ 240 Hz

    candypaint is about 6 years old now, but aside from some thermal
    issues, she performs good as new. It's mostly thanks to CachyOS'
    optimizations and the scx_bpfland scheduler!
