Linux had always been good - put together a new computer, move the OS from the old one, put Linux on the old one...
Find Linux is so much fun, dual boot the new machine on Linux, only keep windows for games
My audio collection from then is all .ogg files
Debian didn't have a stable release until 1996... Even Slackware didn't shape up nicely until around 98 from what I remember. SLS gave it a GUI but wasn't well maintained. Linux wasn't really "good" until early 2000s at the very least.
I just wanted to play Space Cadet Pinball or Commander Keen as a kid, not compile my programs.
You're clearly talking about modern Linux.
I don't think I had budget to buy my own computers until '99, and that's when I first played with Linux
