Welcome to my user page!
Notes
- I have known BetaArchive since a long time ago, but I only registered here in 2021-11-01.
- I use he/him pronouns.
- I am interested in OSes/builds and video games.
- I become a beta tester around on the summer of 2016. I started installing OSes properly in a VM (such as Windows 2000 RTM) on 7 November 2016 for the first time.
