Flying
At the end of 2021 I started flying real airplanes, not only simulated ones.
While trying to learn, how to fly gliders in a club, I realized, that this is not my cup of tea and I switched to flying something, where an unpowered landing is considered an emergency.
I managed to obtain my sports pilot license end of April 2025.

Tools
There are a couple of useful tools for gliding and flying in general.
Skylines -Open Source flight tracking and visualization
XCSoar -Open Source flight computer, also very good at recording flight tracks
Enroute Flight Navigation -Open Source moving map and navigation software
IGC2KMZ -a converter in case you want to view your flight-track in Google Earth.

All of them are web based, work cross-platform, or have at least a Linux version available.
