Those cds were a godsend for broke kids on dial up back then.
I think Puppy or Damn Small Linux, maybe knoppix, i was on dial up at the time. Then I found that I could request a free Ubuntu install disk and the speed and cleanliness and compiz effects blew my mind. 04 or 06, can’t remember which. From there I think it was xubuntu, mint, arch, arch nvme died and I needed an os immediately so manjaro, got sick of manjaro and garuda sounded neat so i tried it and that’s where I am now on my main. Made a mess toying with wayland and am ready to reinstall, probably back to arch or try out nixos
edit: reading through all these comments is bringing back so many memories of other distros I played with back then.
Mine is easy - /dev/nvme[tab][tab][tab]
Oh god damn it I came here to look at memes and now I friggin learned something that’s going to make my life easier
I feel you man. 😔
Still play but no interest at all in ever using the shop or buying a pass

Nice! I’m coming from arch with systemd so it’ll be interesting to play around with runit too. Definitely going to give it a tinker.
Thanks for the info!
I’ve yet to play with void. Is there anything cool/special about xbps?
Yeah lots of unix-likes out there but it’s not running the linux kernel so it’s decidedly not linux. I was just trying to stir up shit in a shit stirring thread.
Now, to possibly stir up more shit: Its ancestry might even be closer to unix than linux itself since darwin was derived from nextstep/bsd whereas linux was a mix of minix and torvalds going “fuck this licensing shit i’ll just make my own”
I will say, any time i’ve had to deal with a macos system i’ve appreciated being able to drop into a familiar shell. DOS commands drive me insane. dir is 50% longer than ls! Who has time for that!
MacOS! It’s just linux under the hood
🍿🍿😏🍿🍿
edit: aw i thought we were playing “who can stir up the most shit” but now everyone just thinks i’m a big dummy… i use arch guys… :(
