Hi, I’m Madhu Desai, the one-person crew behind SysGuides: writer, tester, debugger, and occasional keyboard abuser.

With over 15 years of hands-on Linux experience, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit poking around terminals, breaking perfectly good installs, and figuring out how to fix them. I also hold a Master’s in Computer Applications (MCA), which means I’ve got both the academic background and the scars from real-world system wrangling.

I started SysGuides because I believe Linux doesn’t have to be intimidating. Whether you’re a total beginner or someone who lives in the command line, I write a mix of step-by-step guides, deep dives, tips, and tweaks. The goal is to make Linux feel a little less cryptic and a lot more fun. From system setups and performance tuning to virtualization and rescue workflows, it’s all here, tested and written in plain English (with minimal yak shaving).

Oh, and if you’re more of a visual learner, I’ve got you covered on YouTube too. Check out @sysguides for walkthroughs, tips, and video versions of what you’ll find here.

Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to the nerdy side. It’s nice here. 😎
