23 years ago in middle school I made my first ever linux user group post [1] trying to shift from an nvidia geforce to the onboard cyrix mediagx drivers because they had closed source drivers.
Haha that's awesome! I was 1 yo 23 years ago, but in the same vein, I had my middle school years of Linux. Although it was significantly simpler than what you were up to at the same age!
It’s been a long time coming lol.
