DANIEL POP-SILAGHI
Daniel joined the Softpedia team in February 2009 and closely watches the Linux scene for the latest news. First Looks and Reviews are also part of his daily menu here at Softpedia.
He strongly believes that Open Source is the future and hopes that more and more people realize its true potential. Linux has been a hobby for Daniel for quite some time and now that it translated into a journalism (another passion of his) career, he couldn't be happier.
When he's not trying out countless Linux distributions, he likes to immerse himself into the world of gaming or just chill out to some jazz music.
