This is a really entertaining series for all the Linux nerds out there.
How have I never seen this before? I have been reading manga and daily driving linux for years. Instant must-read! Thanks!
It’s pretty fun to see how Linux was like back then. Admittedly, I only started using Linux as a daily driver in 2021.
I just finished the first chapter and this hit me in the nostalgia so hard. I started using Linux in one form or another back in 2006 (Ubuntu and Red Hat back then). Seeing the old UI, synaptic, and a user that insists GUIs aren’t needed are so spot on for the time. One of Ubuntu’s big differentiators back then was the ease with which you could install codecs, so it was nice to see it called out.
Tfw the second foundation of FOSS, Git, only came about in 2005.
There’s a Sysadmin Club? Why was I born in the wrong dimension??
There used to be a Linux/FOSS club in my uni but it seems to be abandoned now. I could only find archives about them.
My university had 2 labs: a fancy modern one with only windows, and a linux-only lab in the basement of an ancient building that would literally flood with a foot of water during heavy rain and always smelled like mildew. That basement and its lowly inhabitants were my fondest memories of school.
incredibly, this is not edited
this is the best reason i can think of to drop out of school
…and now you know what it was like being an Apple user in the ‘90s.
It’s a personal computer. People are different and choices are different. It’s not about the right computer. It’s not even about compatibility, but more about “compliance”.
Be compatible, not compliant. Just MHO.
