It's true. There was a time when Computers were just green screens with DOS text. Those are the first computers I ever used and we thought they were amazing. I thought it was amazing when I could put Star Trek After Dark Screensavers on my Power Mac! We've come a long way.

Green? Everyone knows AMBER MONOCHROME is the one true color!

I've seen those also, but the only ones I used were the green DOS ones. But you're right - they were both a thing, I forgot about the Amber colored ones!

  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
