Noice! I think my first time using Linux (Ubuntu) was 8.04, which I think was back in 2012?  I don't remember. Not as long as you though.


Oh hell yeah! Really? I always thought Ubuntu had a lot of control packed in. I will for sure look into both for my laptop, as I've been wanting to install a different OS on it for a while now. Have Ubuntu on it now, but wouldn't mind even more control.



Viruses was a big thing I had with Windows machines. I'll admit, I didn't go to the safest of websites back in the day, and I think that's why my PCs were so damn infected. Which is why I found interest in Linux, since you didn't have to worry so much about viruses. Of course there are still viruses and things that can attach to a Linux machine, but it's rare.


But yeah, I def want to try out Fedora one of these days.




Yikes. Yeah, these days they have a GUI that pretty much walks you through each step. But I have no idea how it was installing linux 25 years ago. I imagine there was a lot more to it.
