Twenty Glorious Years of Dedoimedo
The article celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Dedoimedo website, reflecting on its evolution from a personal blog to a recognized source for Linux and open-source software reviews, tutorials, and opinions.
Background
- Dedoimedo is a long-running personal tech blog (founded 2005) written by an anonymous European author known for in-depth, often critical reviews of Linux distributions, open-source software, and gaming on Linux.
- The blog is entirely independent — no ads, sponsors, or affiliate links — and the author is deliberately private, maintaining the brand "Dedoimedo" as the sole identity.
- Over 20 years, Dedoimedo has published hundreds of detailed reviews and tutorials, earning a loyal niche following among Linux enthusiasts for its candid, no-nonsense style and refusal to shy away from pointing out flaws.
- This article marks the 20th anniversary of the site, reflecting on the evolution of open-source software and the personal journey of running a non-commercial tech project for two decades.
