Super long time ago. Mandrake anything? How about Slack? Ha ha good times. Probably 20 years ago. I loved freedom Linux offered. Back then graphics divers sucked bad. Just getting opengl working was an accomplished. I can remember thinking "I'm going to just run Linux". It was rough, then I discovered Slack, then I discovered Debian, then I discovered Ubuntu, then Debian, then Arch.

These days I dual boot usually with two disks. 97% of the time I use Linux, but if something dumb comes up I'll bring up Windows.
