You have a long way to go Young one, I've been using for 17 years now, it's always good to see new people in the community
Better-Cash2959@reddit (OP)
17 years is a lot🤯
blackcain@reddit
He thinks you're young, I think he's young with me been around for 30 years.
Better-Cash2959@reddit (OP)
I'm just 19 years old and people out here on Linux for 30 years🤯
blackcain@reddit
That's ok, there were 30 year old who had their mind blown that I worked for a company for 20 years. :)
I did my first open source contribution on BSD I think back in 1993? So, it was kind of longer than 30 years. I think I first ran linux on my Amiga in 1994, it wasn't ready for prime time.. I used netbsd instead. But amazingly, my amiga 3000 came with UNIX SysVr4 - but boy X was bad on that one. But still! I sent my first email in 1984. lol. (I am NOT a boomer though!)

Whoaa your passion for this field is inspiring!
blackcain@reddit
Lot of projects around that you can jump in. Remember you don't have to be some kind of uber programmer either.
Better-Cash2959@reddit (OP)
Yup thank you for the inspiration sir!

Windows is just a piece of shit 💩

Funny enough, I start off my Linux journey in the mid-90s 96 97 somewhere around there. With red hat 5.2. I just saw a video on it today and I saw this dude struggling to get x windows to run! I did Linux here and there for a couple years and what have you and found Ubuntu and it was good I guess around 200345. I dropped it for years, and then last fall I got put on a special team, and they're focus was Linux based systems running I don't know what red hat and eight or nine. So I decided to be familiarize myself with Linux and how it runs and all that stuff. So I bought a $180 laptop, it was a Lenovo with 16 gigs of RAM and 256 gig nvme. I loaded kubuntu on it. And honest to God I have two Microsoft surface top end laptops. And this Lenovo is a fucking chant too! I don't run Windows anymore. I don't need it I'm over it. I got to find some way to sell these surface laptops. I'm not going to go wrestle with getting it on a Linux distribution. I'm just going to drop him like a bad habit..

No I won't 😤
silenceimpaired@reddit
Even if you do don’t be discouraged. It took me over four attempts before it stuck. Before you do though… explore KVM / Qemu GPU passthrough (98% as effective as hardware).
frankenmaus@reddit
That's what I said 26 years ago.
zenmagick77@reddit
My first distro was Lindows.
RetroGrid_io@reddit
A fellow old-timer!
I started with Red Hat Linux 5.1 (from a "Linux for Dummies" book) on an AMD K6-2 350 rocking KDE on a VLB video card! What about yourself?
frankenmaus@reddit
My first install was slackware on a FAT32 fs (why) . That kinda sucked and so I installed SuSE linux 6.4 (iirc). Can't remember the hardware. . . some crappy overclocked celeron processor maybe.
Better-Cash2959@reddit (OP)
4MB RAM is crazy work dude
Better-Cash2959@reddit (OP)
Bruhh crazy👀
EnvironmentalCook520@reddit
Now install and setup conky. It'll make your desktop real pretty.
Better-Cash2959@reddit (OP)
Whoa I'll definitely try, thanks!
EnvironmentalCook520@reddit
idk how popular it still is. most the themes or configs you find are pretty old. They can still work but you might need to change a few things in the config to get it all working
