Fair enough, but Linux was quite difficult for a normal user to install back in the 90’s. And you could literally destroy your monitor if you didn’t know what you were doing. I was responding to the notion that using FOSS was somehow easier to get into in the 90s than Microsoft products.


Maybe true today, but less true in earlier times (90s and early 2000s) when Microsoft was really gaining dominance.
