I really wish that I was born early so I’ve could witness the early years of Linux. What was it like being there when a kernel was released that would power multiple OSes and, best of all, for free?

I want know about everything: software, hardware, games, early community, etc.

    I’m sure most are aware of this but, just incase anyone passing through is not… Haiku OS

    Works great in a VM… fun to play with, have not tried bare metal / daily driving it though.

      Yeah, I’ve tried it out. It’s just years behind any Linux desktop right now though. The entire point of BeOS was to be a multimedia powerhouse, and it was. Everything else has surpassed it at this point though.
