Everyone's first experience with Linux
(www.youtube.com)
First distro: Arch
Flying real close to the sun there
Lol i cracked up when i saw that too. Slackware user myself. Though i do dabble in mint, arch, artix and netbsd
How's Slackware these days? I remember back in the nineties and aughts it was basically Linux from Scratch.
Its still going strong.
Though there are a lot more tools.
Still sysinit system and as reliable as ever on its stability.
New things are stuff such as -sbopkg(can deploy slackbuilds a lot faster as it will sync, custom the slackbuilds scripts if you want, build and install applications[though you still have to install depenencies in there proper order])
- Sboui gui style package management tool that will work with sbopkg and take care of the dependecy resolution for the applications you want to install(includes previous mentioned details of sbopkg)
I can say even on me when i was new to using it, slackware is forgiving if you make mistakes.
Alien bob still making modern packages to use as an alternative package resource if you want stuff like vlc, libreoffice and such that do not come with the default package resource.
Isn't it beautiful that when someone try Mac and some Windows software is not available the reaction is "oh well", but on Linux they try very hard and immediately reach for tutorials trying to install it?
Lol I have been guillty of this when i first jumped over. The only answer was to VM and thats still not the solution for every application
If you have headphones on make sure to turn the volume down before playing this video.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Wait so it's just 30s of which half is that obnoxious music and the other is literally "I can't install Photoshop"?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
