Yes, at least seeing a 50yo guy like me. We come from the 8bit world, there was no linux!

In University. In the 90s we used commercial un*x (HP-UX, IRIX, AIX, Solaris/SunOS, SCO) and some others like SVR4, BSD, Minix. Then a guy on usenet talked about making is own kernel running on a 386. My first real full linux install was kernel 0.99 on a 486DX50, around 1993, came in multiple floppies, then to install X11 that was like 10 more floppies! Configuring things was a bit nighmarish.

I had a small one like 1024x600, it was powered by USB-C (that carries the touchscreen signal) and it was mini-HDMI. It worked first try in Windows or Linux, nothing special to do, just plug 2 cables. It had stereo speakers too, a rocker switch on the side to set volume, brightness, etc with a menu like TV.

yup, used pico with pine 30 years ago (I’m old) and switch to nano of course, I still use nano about daily (linux maintaining, config file, etc)

In Canada we have mandatory DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and often, cars use high beam with a low voltage or PWM. When people replace their standard bulbs with LED bulb, it means during the day you are flashed by high beam in your eyes, even in full summer at noon you can be completely blinded by cars coming towards you, it’s fucking annoying!

I still have my old HP Mini311 netbook, AntiX or Linux MX 32bits works well on it.
