Hey, I started in 2003 too! What was your first distro? Mine was mandrake, from the cd on the cover of a magazine.

    My first linux was in '98 and it was redhat 5 .2. I remember buying it from a computer shop I used to frequent as a teenager back then. i think it came on 3 cds or something like that.

    The amount of time I spent compiling kernels, building x server and getting confs to work is priceless.

    Ah,the good hard as fuck old days of Linux.

    I started with red hat with KDE, which then became fedora, I believe. Then switched to Ubuntu with KDE which then split to Kubuntu. Then tried mint for a while, then back to Kubuntu which I still use.

    Now I'm actually considering a different distro, because systemd and snap are pissing me the f off, badly. Ubuntu keeps pushing it, so I'm out. Only, now I need to find basically Ubuntu without system d and snap
