Think it was pop OS because “gaming” but never really had Linux as main os on my pc because gaming and modding and few other things that are just more complicated compared to what I’m used to. Being told to just use arch also does not help when I don’t want to use terminal. And also don’t know if you can run vr on Linux without problems. Current have installed mint on second drive(HDD) will start looking more into Linux when windows 10 stops getting support. But I’m a noob so what do I know.
Yggdrasil LGX, back in ‘93.
Damn, you got in on like the ground floor haha
It was quite the interesting thing to run back then — it was all very “Wild West” of software, and a LOT of stuff didn’t work well.
It wasn’t my daily driver; it really wasn’t ready for most workloads back then. But it was nearly free, and we shared around the CD-ROM amongst hacker friends interested in giving it a try.
I attempted to install RedHat 5 in the late 90s, but I had no idea what I was doing since I was like 12 or 13 and we had just gotten our first computer. I never got around to actually using Linux until a few years later with Ubuntu 5.04
You can learn a ton installing your own OS, even if you don’t get things working in the end. Especially back in the 90’s when things weren’t quite as plug-and-play and hardware auto-detection was immature. So even if your RedHat experiment failed, good on you for attempting it anyway!
Several floppies of Slackware.
