My first experience with a pc was Windows 3 also! My parents business computers. I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit and skifree on it. I was very young. I did get to use bare DOS tho from a hand-me-down computer that only booted into DOS. I’m not afraid of a little Console/Terminal work. I actually prefer it for some tasks. Like Arch’s pacman is SO fast.

We’re the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.

This wouldnt be as much of as issue if Lemmy had better support for connecting with other instances and their communities.
