My name is Varad Kinjal Padipbhai Dixit and I'm just sort of glad to be here. Hatkeshiator is Hatkesh (my ishtadeva, hatkeshwar mahadeva) + Appreciator
I love The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I love the Lord of the Rings books. I grew up on the internet and I love it here to a fault. I always love to help out but I may not always be able, either because I'm still learning (improving in general) or I'm still learning (literally in class at the time).
Formerly a GNU/Linux Mint user for 13 years, then used Windows out of obligation 2020-2023, then switched back to Mint. In June 2025, I switched to Artix GNU/Linux as my daily driver.
I use XMonad WM with a custom configuration file, which you can find in this directory. I use XLibre fork of X and actively avoid Wayland. I actively avoid using projects associated with Rust, Wayland, SystemD, and other inferior replacements of established tools. I make exception only for tools I myself find useful, such as the Helix text editor.
