What has your experience with Linux been like so far? How long has been your Linux journey? Mine began while I was studying computer science, and I’ve been in love with Linux since.

Wow. I had this on my removable hard drive for our operating systems class in college back in 2000.
me too. it had some unspecified issue with xorg that prevented bootup and i was never able to fix.
Internet access was more complicated back then. If you didn’t have a second computer or couldn’t dual boot into a working OS it was a big problem. And there wasn’t a lot of Linux users back then either.
yea no way i would have been willing or even able to troubleshoot it at that time.
i just gave up until ubuntu came around many years later and just worked.
Seeing all the issues in the video, I feel like my experience with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx as my first self-installed Linux OS was much smoother :D
Oh yeah. Ubuntu really simplified everything.
My first distro on my own PC was Mandrake. I don’t know how many times I had to reinstall it because of my fuckups.
Two years later I was compiling my own kernel with the source code of special modules that I had downloaded for my NVidia card that had composite video input.
I’ve never had to compile a kernel since Ubuntu. I completely forgot to be honest.
