Interesting video.
Three years completely on Linux, because I botched my dual boot and decided to try without the Windows partition and… never had to install it again! Happy user!
Celebrating 20 years this year!
Congrats, I think I’m at about 16 years now myself. I can’t quite recall where I was when I first tried SUSE and Red Hat casually. It wasn’t until I discovered Arch in 2006/2007 that things really took off.
Edit: I clearly can’t math today…guess I’m a bit closer to 20 years myself.
It’s almost 20 years since the Fedora Project started, and I started with Red Hat just before that happened.
I’m pretty sure Red Hat was my first go around too, having picked up one of those Linux Bible-type books that included a CD insert.
Redhat was my first Linux experience more than two decades ago now. I had to buy it from a bricks and mortar store since the internet was still in it’s infancy (at least in my country). It cost $110 back in the day (about $170 nowadays) and came with a thick arse ye olde phone book style manual 😅 Sadly, there just wasn’t the compatibility with Windows software there that I needed for interacting with Windows users so it didn’t last long. Picked up Linux again about 10 years ago (distro hopping till I settled on Arch) and haven’t looked back. It’s amazing to see how far Linux has come just in the last few years, especially with gaming.
I had a similar story, except it was RH 5.x. I’ve been a faithful ubuntu user, but am seriously thinking of hopping to fedora considering how snappy it is (yet still delivering a fiction free experience).
Here’s to many more years in Linux 🍻

But why can’t Ctrl C/V just work in Linux???
Yeah good luck with that
