You're either running Arch/some other bleeding-edge system without Linux experience (do not recommend) or you haven't tried Linux in 10 years.

I promise you I've been using Linux likely for longer than you've been alive, and have used every permutation of Linux, from old school CLI-only shit, to fringe PowerPC YellowDog, to modern Ubuntu/Debian.

Sure thing, friend. I only started on Knoppix and Mandrake. Commodore 64 didn't have it... I saw in the modern age C64 can run a Unix that takes weeks to boot. 😂 I haven't managed to put a Debian in dependency hell in about 10 years. 😅

PowerPC YellowDog

Reminds me of swap-trick to install burned Linux for PlayStation 2. I see someone is still compiling kernels for PS2, up to 5.x 😆
