  • I only just heard this the first time recently and it's got some stickiness to it! Definitely a song people will recognize a couple decades from now. Centuries, maybe not.

  • Not difficult, or even expensive, to find a working 20 year old machine with a 3.5" FDD. Also I work at a library and we keep a couple of well bagged USB floppy drives around for profs who occasionally need data retrieval. Hasn't happened in a couple years though. We also have an old Dell for 5.25".

    What habits of your cat or cats annoy you?

  • I'm glad you're here to tell me how my experience the last 30 years was. Thank you for enlightening me as to how my choices were wrong and how I was silently suffering.

    I gamed on Debian. I was so wrong.

  • Bit of selection bias.

    Car shops are full of cars that have problems. Why would you be at a shop if you didn't? Same with forums.

  • That really was not my experience. I didn't game much. WoW mostly. Some StarCraft. Minecraft. Online games. Debian unstable worked fine and I don't think I had to compile my own kernel (for gaming) at any point past 2005 or so.

  • I've always enjoyed the tinkering. My gaming habits pretty much grew up with WINE. DXVK was very exciting!

    Never been a stranger to compiling my own kernel or mucking about with DLL overrides.
