Anyone Linux users out there?

What is this?

Linux is a computer operating system. There are many different breeds of Linux. There is Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux, Fedora, and more

You do have a point about gaming. Play On Linux is a bit of a mess and Wine has never delivered as promised.

I tired PlayOnLinux once. And then I just stuck to wine and real Windows out of annoyance and laziness.

For my purposes, I have Linux on my main computer, and Windows on another for the purpose of using things like iTunes and jailbreak tools.
My mealworms could use the heat from your rack .

Been a while.

Sun Microsystems and liquid sunshine (Dr Pepper) on one desk.

The funny thing is the only machine runing solaris in that photo is the ultra2 on top of the storage array, specifically because the raid card wasn't supported on ultralinux and that was my fileserver. The Ultra 10 on the floor was redhat ultralinux and the ultra5 hiding behind it was running whatever the current flavor of debian sparc was at that point. Everything else was some flavor of RHEL or fedora, except the full tower in the open cabinet on the desk (which yu can't see here), which was my AMD K6-2 300 windows gaming rig at the time.

I'm rather found of some of the new stuff. I've got a couple of low powered fanless mini PCs and they're way better than I expected.

2003 or 4 I expect. It was after we moved into our current house, that room was my office until 2007.
