What has your experience with Linux been like so far? How long has been your Linux journey? Mine began while I was studying computer science, and I’ve been in love with Linux since.
Seeing all the issues in the video, I feel like my experience with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx as my first self-installed Linux OS was much smoother :D
Oh yeah. Ubuntu really simplified everything.
My first distro on my own PC was Mandrake. I don’t know how many times I had to reinstall it because of my fuckups.
Two years later I was compiling my own kernel with the source code of special modules that I had downloaded for my NVidia card that had composite video input.
I’ve never had to compile a kernel since Ubuntu. I completely forgot to be honest.
God, I’m soooo glad you don’t need to compile anything anymore. I spent my entire early 20’s debugging C compile errors building LAMP stacks… I had forgotten (blocked out?) how many things you used to need to compile yourself…
Right???
