Today I realized I have been using Linux as my default personal desktop OS for 20 years. Everybody jokes about the year of Linux on the Desktop but for me that year was 1998. Here are more words that date me: Red Hat 5.1, floppy install disks, fvwm95.

@kylerankin About the same for me. I started around 1998 or 1999 but i didn't stop dual booting until about 2001.
Don't tell me desktop that it hasn't come.
