Long Time GNU/Linux user returns

[seattleflipper88]

Throughout the past 23+ years, I have been using GNU/Linux on and off and have constantly been amazed at the adaptability of the GNU/Linux community. As well as the MIT,BSD and other software licensing schemes. This total experience has taught me a great deal about myself and how neuro adaptive that i AM.

Welcome to forums!

Anyone who uses Linux for so long time will indeed say GNU/Linux and not Linux.
I'm in favor of the former term too.

I genuinely support the idea of neuro-plasticity even in the 3rd-age!

I thought, "Wait Linux isn't that old, I mean the first distros appeared in the 90s--" then my thoughts were interrupted by "It's 2024..." Time just flew by. One minute it's a hobbyist/niche thing, the next it's my daily driver and then suddenly it's a gaming OS (well, gaming as in some of the latest mainstream titles can be played on regular Desktop Linux).

That gets me, too. The whole "21st century" thing just kind of sneaked right up on me. I used to tease my non-tech friends and family members with, "Welcome to the 20'th century... Oops, you missed it!" but apparently I'm not immune to that effect myself.
