I've been doing that since 2013. I run Arch btw.
me too, but only since late 2022
Here is my operating systems timeline:
You make an excel to track your operating system of choice for the year but don't include the distro?!? For shame.
Ok, Ok, Ok, I added it now.
what's between 1994 and 2001? MS DOS?
No, I just didn't have a computer. I bought a MTX 80C and later a Ford Fiesta mk3, I also bought some Technics SL-1200 so I sould pretend to be a DJ:
In the end I just didn't have the need nor time for a computer.
Ok of I really think hard I might get some pcs and os's that I used since I can remember. But who has such a detailed list of os's they use?
Are Raspberrypis included, do work pcs count?
You can include them if you want to
In my case work and private OSses align quite well in the timeline, Raspberry Pi's I didn't put in here.
I rate A+ now, very good.
A hwhat
An extra large, it seems. I don't get it either.
2024 ain’t over, you might switch to TempleOS…
Did you stop using a computer between 1994 and 2001? I feel like there's some interesting story in there.
Yes I did stop using computers during that time. While I had my Amiga in school only nerds had PCs, so I didn't get one, even though I was programming on my Amiga with AMIGABasic and so on. I guess it was mostly because I started doing normal teenager stuff once I was 16 like motorbikes, cars, playing music, going to the clubs, etc. so there was no time and no desire to use a computer. Only once everyone seemed to have internet at home I started feeling left out a bit. for some months I started usincgcomputers in Internet Cafes and then decided to get a used PC.
I actually feel bad for you using Linux before most stuff had measured. Font anti aliasing, font name, screen tearing, drivers, flatpaks etc.
