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?
In my case work and private OSses align quite well in the timeline, Raspberry Pi's I didn't put in here.
You can include them if you want to
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.
