    Aww, cry harder.

    I started using Linux when it was Redhat, in the 1990s, and it came on a bunch of CDs.

    And I use WSL in addition to Debian, Raspbian, and Ubuntu.

    Knock this tribal bullshit off.

      Yeah, why would they post something like this to the community for serious takes about Linux?

      CD’s?! Ooh La La Mister Fancy French man with the digital media! Back in our day linux came on a plastic 45 inside Fruity Pebbles cereal and it had loose crusty sugar in the grooves that introduced errors in X that meant the screen scrolled like an out-of-whack tv and you had to wait for the prompt to roll by so you could try another resolution that would core dump and spit you back to the A:\ drive and eject the disc into your shins like a frisbee! And that’s the way we liked it!

      I started with Slackware. It came on floppies.

      Now move to the back of the line youngster.
