I didn't have a Pentium processor in my computer, the internet was young, information wasn't as ready or available, and the mindset wasn't that you could check everything. I don't remember how many floppy disks it took to install Slackware, but at least one read error was definitely on the way. I had a 56k modem at home, so I had printed out the installation instructions from work. Compiling everything wasn't a problem, because I learned to code back in 1983. When I tried to figure out the refresh rate of my screen, I was afraid I would blow it up and go blind. The feeling of freedom was when you were the one who could choose everything for the first time in your virtual life.

👍🏻 Slackware was my 1st distro. It was before kernel 2.0. Now I use windowslike girly distros..

What was you 1st distro back in last millenium?

from youtube video "De-Google Your Life"

From very stable and boring distro to rolling release distro is good experiment. Rivals to your future choice are Manjaro, Arch, maybe Fedora. Are you certain about the SuSE? 😉

I think the only Nazis there today are the russians.

I use Mint. I had a phase with different distros, but when I had my son, and he turned 3, I installed Linux Mint for him. Little by little, I started using it myself. Today my son is in the military service and I still use Mint.
