What I Maintain
I’m the creator and maintainer of MintBridgeXFCE, a modular migration toolkit designed to help legacy Windows systems transition to Linux Mint XFCE with full traceability, cryptographic validation, and community reproducibility.
The project includes:
- 🧱 Hardened migration flows from Windows XP–10 to Linux Mint XFCE
- 🔐 GPG signatures and SHA256 hashes for every release
- 📦 Bilingual documentation (English/Spanish) for global accessibility
- 🧪 Scripts for peripheral activation, partitioning, and dual-boot setup
- 💸 Modules for international financial integration (GitHub Sponsors, Stripe, Wise)
Why I Maintain It
Legacy systems are often excluded from modern open-source ecosystems. MintBridgeXFCE was born from the need to preserve technical dignity, enable reproducible automation, and empower communities with limited resources. I maintain this project to ensure that no machine is left behind and that every migration is traceable, ethical, and secure.
