    I’ve had a Linux desktop since 2003, over 20 years now. 20 years of facepalm after facepalm every time I saw people get fucked by a windows machine.

    Go Linux!

      Hey, I started in 2003 too! What was your first distro? Mine was mandrake, from the cd on the cover of a magazine.

        My first linux was in '98 and it was redhat 5 .2. I remember buying it from a computer shop I used to frequent as a teenager back then. i think it came on 3 cds or something like that.

        The amount of time I spent compiling kernels, building x server and getting confs to work is priceless.

        Ah,the good hard as fuck old days of Linux.
