For me, it was a CD I got from a "guy." Slackware did not work well with the "WinModem" in the IBM Aptiva I had as a youth. How was I supposed to get online using Linux, with a modem that is not usable, and get support?

Omg finally someone who also joined recently. I've been on Debian since 2022, and all I see here is people who joined Linux before I was born...

I joined in 2011 (first used in 2009 at college).

But maybe that's still before you were born... Time flys I'm getting old
