You're either running Arch/some other bleeding-edge system without Linux experience (do not recommend) or you haven't tried Linux in 10 years.

I promise you I've been using Linux likely for longer than you've been alive, and have used every permutation of Linux, from old school shit, to fringe PowerPC YellowDog, to modern Ubuntu/Debian.

Sure thing, friend. I only started on Knoppix and Mandrake. Commodore 64 didn't have it... I saw in the modern age C64 can run a Unix that takes weeks to boot. 😂 I haven't managed to put a Debian in dependency hell in about 10 years. 😅

PowerPC YellowDog

Reminds me of swap-trick to install burned Linux for PlayStation 2. I see someone is still compiling kernels for PS2, up to 5.x 😆
