My first linux experience was SuSE 7.3, a boxed set that I picked up from a Borders book store in Glendale, CA. It came with KDE 2.2 and Kernel 2.4. This is such a throwback! I have been meaning to spin something up to revisit this period of my life and soak in the nostalgia, so this will be awesome to play with. https://www.suse.com/news/73/ https://www.suse.com/news/73/
- drooopy 3y agoMy first Linux experience was Suse 6 that I got from the CD ROM of a PC magazine. KDE 1.x is permanently tattoed onto my brain. I wish there was a simple and straightforward way to make plasma look and act like classic KDE. Is Trinity any good?

- lproven 3y agoLinux anecdotes making me feel old, now. KDE 2.x was when the rot and bloat set in. KDE 3 was when it drove me away forever, because it was intolerable. KDE 1.x was great. Already over-fussy and over-complicated, but it did the job. You never saw it in its prime. :'(
