Lubuntu 25.10: Il ritorno alle origini🕰️⏳

Lubuntu è stata una delle prime distribuzioni Linux che ho provato, e ho dei ricordi bellissimi di come faceva rivivere hardware ormai obsoleto. 👵💻

Since my only use for Windows these days is gaming and I’d really like to get away from it, after I found an old #MacBookPro (from 2006!) stuck on Snow Leopard hidden at the back of the cupboard I thought I’d give #linux a go, purely for the hell of it. Since it’s my first go and an old machine I thought #LinuxMint #XFCE made sense. Who says you can’t teach an #olddognewtricks eh? #MyFirstDistro

Saw this on my timeline, might as well join in...
My memories of this are kinda hazy, but #myfirstdistro was most likely Fedora Core 6, around 2006, on a Pentium 4 desktop PC, with many many afternoons spent playing SuperTuxKart, Torcs, Racer NL, Rocks n' Diamonds, Pingus, Powermanga, Neverball, etc. Fun times :)

#MyFirstDistro

First distro I used was Slackware circa 2000 on an old 486 computer that served as a router, hosted a phpBB, and a webpage with a hamstercam feed 🐹

All probably horribly configured and insecure

#MyFirstDistro
- installed on my own PC was an SuSE Linux of 10.x version, somewhen in 2005 or 2006 (that late just because I started to own a PC in 2003), so just shortly after the acquisition by Novel and rebranding to openSUSE. I use openSUSE nowadays too!
- first known to me was a RedHat that an older brother of my friend tried, from whom I borrowed a book about it and read it, since I didn't have any computer then in 2000 or so.

in terms of systems i used, #MyFirstDistro was Solaris 7 (i think) which was installed in a lab at college.

in terms of systems i ran, #MyFirstDistro was an old x86 system that i set up as a server which ran #NetBSD 1.5.2 (and which i colocated at a friend's house for several years)

I think #MyFirstDistro was #Ubuntu in about 2007 as a dual-boot. Soon after I did get an #EeePC netbook with #Xandros pre-installed though I mostly ran #Eeebuntu on it.

When Ubuntu made some changes I went with #LinuxMint and have never looked back.

#MyFirstDistro was some early version of Red Hat in the late 90's. My dad's IT guy from work installed it on a decommissioned box and gave it to me when he found out I was interested in trying Linux.

I couldn't believe how much software you got by default FOR FREE. All the games, the web browser, the word processing!!!

#myfirstdistro was a boxed copy of Red Hat 5 or 6, in the late '90s. Tried some others including mandrake and suse. Switched to debian soon after, and to Ubuntu with breezy badger (2005). Still on Ubuntu today.
