I had to wait until I was 28 to install Linux, (RedHat). But to be fair, personal computers as we know them today didn’t exist either.
Edit to add: for the past 2 years or so, I’ve been running Kinonite. I often get poked at by other Fedora users because they think it’s either “too hard” or that it doesn’t give them total control of their install because they have some super odd configueration confection that they just can’t live without. Or they believe flatpaks and appImages are too slow to open - I’m still trying to figure out how they can notice a possible 1/2 second.
So I just tell them I am old and I have compiled my share of kernels and wander through the rpm hells of middle earth. And I no longer want to be bothered. Then they say that Atomics are good for “old people”
