[ale] New user introduction

[Simba]

I like systemd. I hated writing init scripts. I know it's not as simple
as that, but so far I haven't been burned.

And I use sublime text, but if I have to edit in a terminal I use nano.
vim is cool, but it only makes sense if you're a disciplined home-row
typist, which I am not (self-taught).

Also I have difficulty following orders. Too rebellious :)

My favorite brand name machine are Thinkpads, and I just recently picked up an X1 Carbon (which is _amazing_). I'm also fond of Toughbooks because sometimes you just need to throw your machine down a flight of stairs. I agree with almost everything that Mr.
