I don't even think VMs were a thing when I started. I remember dual booting back to Windows to google shit to fix drivers then then back ๐
What's this "Google" thing you speak of? Back in my days you bought a huge book which came with a red hat or mandrake CD-ROM.
In France ADSL was still a couple years away, so it was actually cheaper to buy the book and the CD instead of downloading the ISO and looking up documentation online.
Technically VMs are older than Windows, but it was not super accessible in the 90s and early 00s which is when I'm guessing you were doing this.
My system can barely handle windows 7. A linux VM on top of that? Fuck no
So installed mint
