I really wish that I was born early so I’ve could witness the early years of Linux. What was it like being there when a kernel was released that would power multiple OSes and, best of all, for free?
I want know about everything: software, hardware, games, early community, etc.
Have you considered SailfishOS?
Personally I recommend getting a Sony Xperia and installing it yourself.
SFOS has been my daily driver for 5 years now.
I paid €49 for the license, so it’s a bargain right now at 24.90, and my latest device, an xperia x10ii, cost just €60.
