[β] Venator@lemmy.nz 6 points 8 months ago (1 child) Nah in the 90s you were always running as administrator unless on a school computer or using Linux or something... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] fennesz12@feddit.dk 4 points 8 months ago I installed Linux back then too. First thing I did was delete my user, home folder, and just rawdog the whole thing as root. I may have slightly misunderstood the operating system. Later that week I saw that a new Linux kernel had come out, and did a uname -r and decided that the best thing I could do was manually compile the damn thing for my computer so I could "get the update". I am pretty sure I managed to even boot all the way to the terminal, but being unable to run startx. Good times. permalink fedilink source parent
