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.

Oh no, please don't. I remember messing with interrupt addresses, putting in days of work to get a soundcard working and some hardware not working at all. I also accidentally wiped my entire harddisk.

It was fun and I had plenty of time at hand while in school. And I learned a lot and it got me started. But I don't think I need the 1999 Linux experience back 😉
