Right
I started with Linux in 1998 when it came as free CD with some magazine.
was called 'SLS Linux'.
As I had already some experience with Unix at work and a good Unix book
it took a day or so to get started.
It had a free C compiler, ggc, but no Usenet news-reader like Free Agent
so one of the first things I did was write one,
using it now on a Raspberry Pi4 8 GB to post this.

The raspi version is still under test, so have not published the code (yet).
Seem to work OK with some GUI restrictions.
