Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

Jump

  • I was in college. I was talking with a classmate how I tried to burn this OS called Linux that I heard of on TechTV, bit the stupid disc never worked. I leaned how to properly burn iso after that. Pretty sure he showed me some copy of Fedora or Mandrake, maybe SuSe. Didn't care for Fedora, bit found this other one that seemed real interesting everyone was talking about, Ubuntu.

    • And never show it at public because I don't know how create folder in github

  • I was very confused. I only know a ricer in ricing as a kitchen utensil and what you use to make the world's best mashed potatoes.

  • People can say one thing but do another. Saying "MCU is a sinking ship, so I'm abandoning to see how it plays out" probably burns a few bridges.

    • Yo, what was your first computer? How old were you, where and how did you get it, what did you do with it, etc.

    Jump

  • First PC my house got (the family PC) was an IBM Aptiva. I'd eventually upgrade the OS (from Win95 to Win98), upgrade the RAM (I think to 64MB), and upgraded the modem (from 33.6 to 56k).

    Used that machine for years.

  • I hadn't thought of that, but it's genius.

    • Which pill do you choose?

    Jump

  • Red pill.

    While I could retire right now with the blue pill, I wouldn't be happy.

    Red pill means I could spend more time and cultivate a better relationships with the people who actually matter to me. I'd spend a lot more time with my great grandparents.

    I could also focus on being true to who I am and not being who I thought others wanted. Basically be who I was in college... But now at 6.

    Of course, I could make all the right investments to make a lot of money.

    I wouldn't want to just go into the same career. While I might for a while, honestly I'd have the knowledge and money to take a run at a political career.

    Jump

  • When I was a teenager I wanted kids. I fully bought into 'the American dream' being sold. I'd get me a wife, kids, house, and a career. Helped that I actually like kids. Made it my life's goal to try to be the best provider, best dad, best husband I could be.

    Put myself through college, I have a good career, bought a house when I was 24, and still love kids. But I gave up on dating when I was like 28(?). It just became not worth it for so many reasons.

    This last fall marked 20 years since I left my hometown to start my life... And I felt like a failure (still do). I exist to work and pay bills.

    • It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration

    Jump

  • Lemmy I think is in a good place since it's still fairly new. It took a while before Reddit had critical mass and I'd say that happened when Reddit started "solving" crimes and then making the news because of it. The "We did it Reddit!". I think that's when people really started to show up. On here, there's not a constant flood, which can be a good thing. When you reply, you're not buried by thousands of other posts. On Reddit it felt like, if you didn't get in early, chances are no one really saw what you posted. Honestly, I've had better engagement here than I did on Reddit, both in views and quality of replies.

    Only time I end up on Reddit, is when I'm searching something and a post from 2-3 years ago pops up. But I haven't logged into Reddit or actually engaged with anything new since the exodus. The date of this account was the last day I officially used Reddit.
