      I don’t even think VMs were a thing when I started. I remember dual booting back to Windows to google shit to fix drivers then then back 😂

        Technically VMs are older than Windows, but it was not super accessible in the 90s and early 00s which is when I’m guessing you were doing this.

        What’s this “Google” thing you speak of? Back in my days you bought a huge book which came with a red hat or mandrake CD-ROM.

      Idk seems like gatekeeping to me. Why don’t they wipe their disk and install Arch like real sigma linux users?

    I don’t get it? I first experienced Linux on Virtual Box (back when it was by Sun Microsystems, somewhere in 2011)

    This is a really good way of introducing people to desktop Linux, it’s miles better than telling them to run WSL /etc

    I’m sorry but this is just… Toxic?
