Back in my youth, we used to joke about people who said that they used Linux 6.9, because they obviously weren’t. They used Slackware 6.9 or SuSE 6.7 but didn’t understand the difference between Linux and a Linux distribution. I could never have dreamt that I’d actually live to a time where Linux 7.1 is a thing.
EDIT: Funny sidenote: Slackware jumped directly from version 3 to 7, because other distros used higher version numbers and people kept asking the Slackware developer, why his distro was so outdated and when he would finally update it to the modern Linux v7.
Networking is so easy nowadays. Just plug a network cable into your device and it mostly works out of the box. Don’t you guys remember the bad old times of coax cables and token ring?
Imagine providing a public WiFi before 1993, even if you ignore the fact that WiFis had a cable back then.
