"In the 90s when you had to convince people that video games were worth the time + most people didn't have a home PC? Yeah, in that case a person who plays games on their Linux machine is important to growing the community."
There were no games available on Linux in the '90s.*
* Except for those specifically written there.
- toyg 5y ago> There were no games available on Linux in the '90s. Indeed. Before 1998 there wasn't even a proper full-blown desktop.
- mcguire 5y agoNow, I wouldn't go quite that far. (I've been a Linux user since 1992-ish 0.99pl12 or 14.) It was pretty competitive with other Unixes, particularly since it didn't cost a million, billion dollars.
- toyg 5y agoI guess it depends on one's definition of "full-blown desktop" - KDE is from '98 and GNOME followed later, even Window Maker is from '97, but if one was happy with fvwm then he'd have been sorted since '93.
