In my case, it was the 3.1 days. I migrated from CP/M to MSDOS which 
wasn't a huge move. A friend saw the future in Windows and jumped on the 
bandwagon with Windows 1.0. As a user it sucked; as a developer the 
documentation sucked even more. After listening to him whine (whinge) I 
wasn't eager to move to Windows.

The company didn't really move till windows 3.1 as we could do all we 
wanted in DOS. And SCO Unix.

Then everybody wanted to play with windows, so we let them and 
productivity dropped and support costs went up. Sigh.

Later it was a mixture of SUN clones running SUNOS and system V. and 
Windows up to around 95.

Finally some linux added to the mix. Then I retired. ran 95 for a while 
then XP, but then linux windowing systems got stable enough and good 
enough to use them as a desktop.

Ran XP in parallel until Vbox showed up. Then one less machine.

Linux is not simply the most stable and versatile operating system I 
have ever used, and more than good enough.

I stopped looking at other distros.

   My corp didn't want to pay for SCO - it WAS
   kinda high, and sucked a lot of disk/CPU
   compared to DOS/Winders.

   "Linux" is kind of fractured now ... gone off
   in SO many directions. Linus may dictate the
   kernel - how OLD is Linus now ? - but the whole
   look/feel varies WIDELY by distro.

   For CORPORATE servers and such, I'd now trend
   towards one of the BSDs. NOT the best for
   'desktop' though, as I recently experienced.

   MOST biz will just go Winders. It's COMMON, many
   entities support it, the online Office/storage
   is almost The Standard (despite flaws few bother
   to notice). The COSTS ... well ... just write it
   into the budget. Besides, you WANT to be "normal",
   Winders Stuff, that way you can't be "criticized".
   Experienced THAT personally - and quickly retired.

   It's a big shift from 30 years ago. The pointy-haired
   bosses now make the tech decisions instead of the
   experienced tekkies. Horrible. LOCAL servers and
   backups - RIDICULOUS ! M$ will handle it ALL, and
   YOU can't be blamed when it all goes to hell.

   Oh well, Vlad and Xi LOVE that everyone depends on
   Winders stuff now - just ONE easy blow and it ALL
   goes down forever ........

   Still hoping for a neo-VMS ... a system well ahead of
   its time. Alas $$$ seems to be in the way, we'll
   never see it.

   Note both Linux (RHEL-derived) and Plan-9 are ported
   to the IBM Big Black Mainframe Boxes now.

I myself wasn't interested in "discovering Linux" when I first tried it.
I just wanted a different system to Windows, not go down rabbit holes.

Linux Mint is what I recommend.  It works, its easy to use and pragmatic.

	That is why we have Linux Users Groups, to help new users learn about the
FOSS tools available and suitable for their machines and level of 
skills. In 2006 I had
problem with getting my Mandriva online so I joing San Francisco Linux 
USers Group
ask SF-LUG and got plenty of free advice some of it bad but I survived. 
I easily
transition from AmigaOS 3.9 to Windows XP to Linux with KDE version 3.9.5.

	Lack of Interest slowed the group down considerably around 2019 but Covid
ended the meetings in person.  I found it by searching on Linux users 
groups in
San Francisco. Taat searching might work for other areas. We had one meeting
in person just before Covid Delta began to spread.  Now we meet online
which is harder for newbies to accesss.

Our local user group did its online meetings via Big Blue Button, a 
facility provided courtesy of the NZ Open-Source Society. Once the admin 
had set up a conference, they just had to email a URL for people to join.

At the participants’ end, all they needed was a web browser. Camera and 
microphone were optional, only for those who wanted others to see and hear 
them. Otherwise, it was easy enough to communicate with the presenter 
(e.g. ask questions) by typing text messages.

That may work in San Francisco. There was a short lived group here but it 
was people already using Linux so we had to dream up topics to talk about. 
I don't think it ever attracted a person interested in Linux.


it's not only Linux. In the '90s I found hams doing interesting, sort of 
fringey, stuff in LA, Seattle, Phoenix, and other big metro areas. Here 
the interest was mostly 2m handi-talkies before cellphones became 
relatively inexpensive. Packet radio never made it past 1200 baud although 
9600 was doable.

It's a numbers game.

I wouldn't hook newbies up with Linux Users Groups.  There are too many
Linux zealots who have wierd hangups, and are very opinionated on things
that most users don't care about.  We would have 1,000 distros without
this mentality.

Do'h!, I meant we would NOT have 1,000 distros!  The fragementations
into different distros, different methods of packaging, different ways
of storing and configuring is overall, a hindrance.  Its a fake
"choice", because for the vast majority of people, who cares?

If there was only RPM, no Deb, would that matter?

That’s the kind of attitude the Communists had. There were these stories 
of defectors from the USSR, back in Cold War days, being completely 
bewildered by their first visit to a Western-style supermarket. Why do you 
need a dozen brands of bath soap, or a dozen kinds of toothpaste, they 
would ask? Soap is soap, and toothpaste is toothpaste, isn’t it?

Moral: those who are brought up under a regime that doesn’t give them a 
choice, often find it difficult to adapt to having freedom of choice.

I sometimes ask myself that. I don't buy potato chips, tortilla chips, and 
so forth. I was going to the market at lunchtime and a friend asked me to 
pick up a bag of Super Dorito Lime and Cat Shit chips or something. Sweet 
mother of god, there was a whole frigging aisle of that crap and I'd 
forgotten the exact flavor he'd asked for.

You're not even safe saying 'Pick me up a tube of Crest toothpaste'

I'm amused at bewildered looking men in grocery stores talking on cell 
phones. I assume their wife's list wasn't specific enough. "What brand of 
diced tomatoes, honey?"

Reminds me of this classic Aussie ad!  Back then, this actually was kind
of true.

Tomatoes and milk are commodities, aren’t they? Free Software is a 
commodity, too.

Tomatoes come in at least two sizes, among other varieties. They can be 
bought fresh, canned, peeled, unpeeled, diced and puréed, that I can think 
of. Milk can commonly be full-cream, homogenized, low-fat or UHT, among 
other variations mentioned in that ad. Not to mention that it doesn’t even 
have to come from cows ...

Does anybody complain that the tomato and milk markets are “fragmented”? 
That they suffer from too much choice? That the world would be better off 
if tomatoes were just tomatoes, and milk was just milk?

Better than "You got the wrong one!" when you get home.

That's one of the truly practical uses of cell phones.

This, sadly, is all too true all too often.  They expect 'mind reading' 
ability such that you know which exact brand, and which sub-type within 
that brand, when they add "toothpaste" (or whatever) to the list.

> Better than "You got the wrong one!" when you get home.

Yup.  A phone call to clarify which of the 17 sub-types of 'crest 
toothpaste' (or worse, the list just says 'toothpaste', so now there's 
9 different brands, each with 17 sub-brands) is really desired beats 
the "you got the wrong one" outcome.

I had a new GF once. She was coming over to visit for the first time.
She phoned to say 'I'm lost - which way do I go?'
I said, 'well where are you now then?' And she said 'I don't know, I'm 
lost!'

Sheesh.

Some women are simply not worth the hassle.

I don't think this story is apropos.  Choice is indeed good, like choice
in soap.  Pointless choice can be a net cost.  There are inconvienences
at all, but being able to choose a different bar of soap.

At the moment, all cars that take unleaded petrol take the same size
fuel nozzle at the petrol station.  You do not have a choice when you
buy a car, what size nozzle you can accomodate.  You do not have a
choice, when you go to a petrol station, to use a larger nozzle which
could deliver fuel faster.  The tyranny!

Now imagine that some doofus at a car company really thinks that the
nozzle should be 1" wider, so they build two variants of cars, one
slightly more expensive, and it only works at the pumps with the wider
nozzles.  This person has a bee up their ass about how things could be
better and how the 1.5" nozzle or whatever is just wrong.  Cars that can
take regular nozzles can't use the larger ones, the cars with larger
ones kind of can take the smaller ones, but the fuel pump tends to cut
off thinking the tanks full.

Now you have choice!  Freedom!  Sure, its now a pain the the ass when
you fuel up, but choice is good!  Do you want to force everyone to use
the one size?  What kind of Commie would suggest we all just have one
size fuel nozzle!  Some petrol stations just support the one type,
because its easer, now some other doofus invents "snap" pumps to solve
this problem.  Square nozzles!

To me, a lot of these distro differences are like that fuel nozzle
example.  Stupid differences that no one gives a crap about, but create
problems.  Differences like putting config files in different places.
Things that if there were no choice in the first place, almost no one
would care.  The RPM vs DEB thing too.  Really, its barely significant
to anyone that actually uses a computer to do things, rather than obsess
about the OS, as some Linux users seem to do.  They seem to forget that
people actually use computers to run software they need to run.

Sure, I like being able to use FVWM instead of GNOME 3.  Thats
meaningful choice, and most people get a real difference in experience
from this choice that actually matters.  But many differences just don't
mean anything to most people, but still cause problems.
