Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

This is from 5.10. Warty 4.10 was the first Linux distro I actually installed, after only using a Knoppix live CD previously. I miss those days. A lot has improved for Linux but it seemed like Ubuntu was onto something. Then in 2010s they lost their way.

That was peak Ubuntu for me. I actually do mostly like where Gnome ended up but it just felt so new and fresh at the time. Until 2002, I had only ever used Windows and old Macs. When I saw what FOSS could be and Ubuntu then made it really easy, my mind was blown.
