I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
Cool. I’m old enough that in middle school I begged my Mom to take to the mall to buy Linux. I got a Red Hat Linux CD-ROM pack from a store called Babbage’s. I couldn’t download the ISO on our modem and I don’t remember if we even had a burner at that point.
I used to love going to Babbage’s in the mall. So many King’s Quest boxes….
Damn, that’s a good hit of nostalgia!
oh man, Babbages. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. A long time.
