fraggle<p>Before user-friendly distros like Ubuntu, installing Linux was brutal. In the early 90s, if you wanted Linux, you had to download it in pieces over slow connections, write it to floppy disks, and manually configure everything—including your own X server settings just to get a GUI. There were no package managers, and if you compiled the kernel wrong? You bricked your system and started over. Those who survived earned serious bragging rights.</p><p><a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechHistory</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hackerculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HackerCulture</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Computing</span></a></p>
