My first Linux installation was based on curiosity, which was short lived, because Linux (Mandrake) at the time was too challenging.

I moved permanently onto Linux after I could no longer use my SCSI card on Windows 7. I find Linux a joy to use even though I don't do any programming, and rely on ChatGPT to create scripts.

Story of my life back in high school. Except it was Slackware, from the back of a magazine.

Wasn't until I took Operating System Design in university that the whole linux/unix philosophy clicked.
