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.
