Achievements!
Good articles
Hello, and welcome to my user page!
I am the one and only TheTechie! I joined 6 years ago (or 2191 days), and have been editing Wikipedia since. I have made too many edits to count to the English Wikipedia (across all namespaces, not just article namespace). If you need to contact me regarding Wikipedia, please leave me a message on my talk page; this can be easily done by clicking the "talk" link on the top and starting a new section.
About me
Like my username suggests, I am a techie, a person who really likes technology. As such, this is what I'm interested in editing in usually.
What techie stuff do I do in my free time
Linux
I have been a Linux user since 2023. I started with installing Linux on an old HP computer, but now I have tried many different distros and desktop environments/window managers.[d]
List of distros tried (the one I'm currently using is bolded) |

List of DEs/WMs tried (the one I'm currently using is bolded) |

Coding
I also know some coding and do some in my free time. I know Python the most, some HTML/CSS/JS (not JQuery though), and a little bit of C#, C, and assembly code.
Alternative accounts and redirects
Redirects
User:Thetechie@enwiki, User:Thetechie and User:The Techie redirect here. If a user with such a username is ever to join Wikipedia, they should let me know on my talk page.
Doppelganger accounts
- ZeTechie (born Mseingth): An alternative account created as a doppelganger when I was under my old username. Renamed on 2025-01-06 to a new username very similar to my current username. See user page for more details.
- AuroraTheTechie
- User:TheTechie~enwiki (created on my behalf)
Alt accounts
TheTechie-alt and TheTechie-mobile are two alternative accounts. The first is for testing and when I don't want to do anything that I usually do. The second is for, obviously, mobile usage.
Note that any of my alt accounts may edit from different countries while traveling (unlikely to be any other one than my mobile account though). So if a CheckUser sees behavior like this, that's why. Though if in doubt, leave me a message on my talk page. Feel free to block, and I will respond ASAP.
Thanks received

Notes
- This just means that I'm okay with you addressing me by either she/her or they/them pronouns. You are free to use any of these pronouns to refer to me, and are allowed to switch mid-sentence (as I know some do this).
- I often switch between different varieties of English, so please don't be annoyed if I do that :)
- Technically, Tamil is my native language, but I don't really speak it at a native level
- This was due to some extremely ironic comments by the person behind it, in which they said some nonsensical things about COSMIC. Do I think COSMIC is ready? No. Do the comments seem justified? No.
