I'm Tulip! I've been working a lot on Bluefin and Universal Blue since about the start of both projects, with issues and ideas all around. I truly believe that the "Linux desktop" (whatever that is :p) can, and will be better from mine and all the contributors efforts.

I personally contribute to most of what goes into Bluefin, be it upstream, or on the Universal Blue org, maintaining the image itself, improving on how we build them and what we include into them, I work on their security aspects (supply chain attack vectors, licensing information, general security practices), support for most of the things we include, like maintaining flatpak applications (like the Virt Manager QEMU extension, Input Leap flatpak and many others), upstreaming fixes for issues re run into (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/35132, and some distro packaging) and I've lead the development of Bluefin LTS and Bluefin GDX + ARM efforts for those and a few things around the Universal Blue organization (ofc theres much more but I cant just write it all here 😉).

If you want to help me out, please consider a monthly contribution, it really helps me out a lot lot lot! (each dollar is like, 6 BRL for me so this is huge!). Hopefully I would be able to make this my full-time job by getting enough money for that, then I wont have to get a "real job" :P - Your sponsorship means A LOT to me! "Every little bit counts", literally!

You can also sponsor me on these places:

Thank you so much for your support!
