@omgubuntu Wow, the nostalgia... My first taste of Linux was Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, also in university.

I sometimes miss the old Ubuntu branding. Don't get me wrong, I like the slick look of modern Ubuntu with Yaru. But the original theming really helped one get the feeling that they were using something meant first and foremost for human beings, and warmly welcoming them into the FOSS community.
