the new stuff (AKA ubuntu). I’m sticking with the OG distro, debian, as ubuntu has failed me again.
or is it the second distro? as I believe slackware is older?
Yeah, google solved that Q: “Yes, Slackware is considered older than Debian, being widely recognized as the oldest still-maintained Linux distribution, with its development starting earlier than Debian’s; both were initiated around 1993, but Slackware is generally considered slightly older. “
And I adopted linux around the millenia. So it only took me about 7 years to adopt linux.
