    1995 for me. I bought a copy of DLD, a long-since defunct distro at a store. This was before I went to uni and before I had internet, which made learning it very frustrating. And then I wanted to use a printer. Not quite happy memories.

      X Windows was my day 1 challenge. I loved having to change the monitor sync and hearing your monitor go “SNAP” when you start it up, then staring at basically a horizontal line. That, and the line in the Usenet posting on how to set up X Windows say “You can physically destroy your monitor here.”
