Ubuntu? You are a boomer
*runs away laughing manically*
New Ubuntu install. The first thing I'm doing? Compiling Notedeck. Yes, I took a picture of my screen like a boomer, but I also don't have anything else installed, so I can't use a web app to post a screenshot ๐ฅน https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/3fcff8f2175fd6b98c57f9e4674832f4dd9b455b4cbcc4ba64e1c5efe8a8a31b.webp

Boomer? Absolutely correct. The first time I installed Linux was Slackware in 1995. Then I installed RedHat two years later when a friend from IRC burnt a CD and sent me a CD in the mail. I first used Ubuntu before Canonical owned the domain and the previous owner had to put a link at the bottom saying if you're looking for Linux, you need to go here and linked to Canonical's website. I haven't ran Ubuntu in 10+ years, probably much longer, and I want to see what's changed. Checkmate.

I seriously hope I didn't hurt your feelings, I just wanted to tease a bit and couldn't resist ๐
Slackware is the probably the only distro approved by "Bob" so you have my highest respect ๐
I myself started my serious journey with gentoo during the kernel 2.4-2.6 times (don't remember the year but I compiled kernels every week ๐)
That's one distro that I never ran. I almost ran it because my friends that ran an ISP 20 years ago had this bad ass mail cluster built on Gentoo and the dude behind it, Lindsay, was a baller. He was a huge fan of Gentoo.
I've ran RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, SUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Arch, Knoppix, and probably others that I'm forgetting.
Serious advice: Do not run Gentoo if you have any form of life going on.
It will either frustrate you or consume you and ruin that life ๐
Uuuh, Knoppix. Fond memories. Life saver a couple of times. Damnsmalllinux was also a nice live one.
GoboLinux ... That one was interesting ๐
I could go on for a while haha ๐
I didn't think about this for very long, but that thing was so cool and I did run it from a self-built pc mounted into a beer crate ๐
