New to this forum, 10 years on Linux
Well... my first experience with linux was back in 2010, when, in elementary school, I wanted a portable Windows to use from my pen-drive, as the computers from school had a lot of viruses and used an unofficial Windows XP version with a lot of features removed. Fedora 12 was my first distro.
With enough coincidence, the Windows Vista I used at home stopped working (no surprise) few months after I prepared the bootable device... and both me and my parents used Linux for nearly 2 months until I reinstalled Windows.
Then I switched my pendrive to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, installed Linux in dualboot as a "fail-safe" for the times where Windows can't start even in "fail-safe mode", got my first laptop (an overpriced and underpowered netbook) and installed Ubuntu as the primary OS, and Windows as secondary one.
When I got into college (Information Systems), got a new laptop and left Windows 8 with almost no storage for the few (old) games I play and wine didn't even open and installed Ubuntu-Studio on it. When I got my fairly decent desktop, it already came with Ubuntu preinstalled, but I replaced it by Ubuntu-Studio. After a lot of broken do-realease-upgrades and PPA-hunt over the time, I switched to Arch linux the week after I graduated and didn't need Ubuntu to ensure everything worked.
Now I'm pursuing a master's degree, mininet broke and someone posted here a workaround and I need to start a post to be able to link the github issue I created (the github issue links this forum).
