It's strange that Lars did not mention about Yggdrasil Linux, it's probably the earliest Linux distro even before Slackware existed [1][2].
According to the article, 1992 is the year of Linux desktop by the introduction of X11 system but every year since then is allegedly the year of Linux on the desktop.
Anyway this article has taken me back down memory lane, thanks Lars.

Yggdrasil was released half a year or so later, and included most of these tools. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCC_Interim_Linux https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCC_Interim_Linux
- teleforce 4y agoYes, I stand corrected. In fact my friend who studied in UMIST (now part of University of Manchester) introduced me to Linux. The fact that Manchester Computing Centre (MCC) is based inside UoM probably make it accessible to him because at the time Linux was installed from floppies.
