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 😉
No sweeter sound than “Hello, this is Linus Torvalds and I pronounce ‘Linux’, Linux” although in 90’s Linux’s defense, sound on 90’s Windows was also a zoo. At least once it was working on RedHat, it worked. Same box with windows 95, every boot you’d fear the sound driver was magically broken again necessitating a full wipe and reinstall…
